All i have is a breath
And as a deer
I can choose
to gasp in fear
Or stand tall ‘aware’
when death is near
Out in this cold
let the mind mould
teach it no fright
build its inner might
Even as darkness drapes
let it rife fearful shapes
& when you’re done being tense
thump out that fear, thence
Hold that head high
look up to the sky
Use your brain as much as brawn
And lo! it’ll soon be dawn..
