Course Evaluation

How do you evaluate that which is everything? What do you call it? Solution? Solace? Savior? I've no idea, but I found a part of something I started to write a very long time ago. With the help of all of you, I picked up a pencil and finished it tonight.  It's my attempt to say what I need to say about this shared experience with you, my silent army of strength and courage. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it.

Dragonslayer

Born of hope

Raised by fear

Taught by violence-

Mistrust ensnaring

Dragging downward drowning 

Dungeon of darkness

Inescapable bitter visions

Gagging, gasping

Death gurgles with open eyes

Glazed

Every moment,

Helpless

To save

So seemingly enslaved

Intangible, elusive warden

Tyrant of self-doubt

Binding heart, blinding love,

Championing dread,

Conquering hope.

Crying for clemency,

My silent army stands

Bearing witness

As I reach reach reach!

With pen in hand,

Ink,

My white knight.

Attacks the darkness,

Spills its blood,

Plunders the demons,

Slays the dragons

Soul reborn,

Set free in

Light.
