Ad infinitum

Miserere mei, Deus.

The light shines down
cascading relief upon me in
the knowledge that a new
day will dawn despite
efforts to the contrary.

Lux sit de profundis.

My faith has been beaten,
my shield is cracked and worn,
so I fall back to camp
to fix the warped and torn.

Laude aute dominum.

My armour renewed and
my weapons sharp and oiled
I head into the valley
where the battle toils.

Vi et armis.

The cycle renews,
we rush forth into the breach,
making slow headway with
the blood slick under our feet.

Viam inveniam aut faciam.

We are the few,
the brave,
some say the damned,
but there's a war to be waged,
and no idle time to be had.

Morituri te salutamus.
