Nighted
He is assuredly no warrior
Merely a knight dreading the day
The darkness his companion
His true comfort when it falls
He walks through unhallowed halls
Feeling his elders' curse
A whisper in the family code
A message he may never hear
He still drags a rusted sword
Armor splintered on the way
The darkness chooses to remain
A fragmented knight is here to stay.

Perfectly stated, crow. I really feel this one in that first stanza..night is my friend as well..day time is a bitch to deal with!
Even at 40... aging scares the shit out of me. My heart goes out to you..you can't help but worry what if this or that. Big hugs

I'm already feeling the years, Pandora, a couple of decades past 40. I guess it could be worse. Thank you for the kind words and RL entry!

Haha..I'm so messed up I called myself 40 @ 39.🙄 That's what I was saying, if I fear it now then I can empathize with you. Bless you...
