Spiritual Warrior

She looks into the mirror
as she puts on her war paint.
One finger at a time.
A different color for each emotion.
She is a warrior. A spiritual soldier.
Battling life on life’s terms.
What bombs will drop today?
She battles the universal enemy of self-ignorance.
She sharpens her weapons .
But they are weapons of peace.
Such as:  knowledge,  forgiveness,  and empathy.
Truth is her shield and love is her armor.
She knows what she’s after.
Self-discovery.
When she finds it she gives her battle cry.
Who will hear her call today?
Who will bear witness?
To themselves.
Will you?
Will you discover yourself?
Will you be a warrior too?

(2013)

This is an archetypal poem based on an actual person.
