NaPoWriMo Challenge (day 9)

Challenge to post a poem a day for the month of April http://www.napowrimo.net/

April 9th

Day 9

The sky is deepest black tonight

Everything is quiet before the light,

But when morning appears, we see the field

All of my strength until you yield,

Do they realise what is coming, do they sense our will?

A full day of battle, a full day to kill.

We are hardened, determined, resolute and skilled,

There is no other road but victory on the field.
