Swords of 9

I’ve put my swords on the wall
Necessary to do after the fall

I struggle to stop the lightning,
my warrior spirit craves fighting

The battle has ended
a long time ago, suspended

I cover my face with my hands
hiding the trauma of lands

discovered in violent truths
Ruth sends away the troops

Alone upright at night,
I look inwards with fright

The battle is finally over
my bedspread of clover

Allow me the space to find
the answers alone that bind

The swords of nine
are no longer mine
