Summary: Another from my poem book 'The Songs of the Samurai'




The Last light

Unto his last night he rode
Leaving his world behind him.
Into the darkness he walked
Carrying his en-armoured will around him.
Through the smokey shadows he trod
Breathing this last moment of calm before him.
Staring into the madness of violence he saw
Death, in battle beckoning to him
