Life's Warrior

Life’s Warrior

Baleful Mars,

Stares unblinking,

Through starving barren branches.

 

He judges me unworthy,

To course the velvet winter night,

Untested in bloody battle

Ageless contempt radiates inward.

 

A callow adolescent,

I avert my gaze,

Challenge his influence sheepishly,

Steal away regardless,

In self delusion,

That he might not notice.

Tonight Mars is closer than it has been  - and probably will be – for sixty thousand years. Puts some perspective on things down here I suppose
