Without A Doubt
Upon facing one's mortality this yearning arises from the breast.

Give me the heart
of a Massi warrior
as he stares down the glare
of a hungry leopard,
as it comes to steal
from this warrior's flock,
knowing full well, without fear,
he was born given unquestionable
dominion over every creature
God has put beneath his
sandaled feet.

Give me the eye of the newly mated
Hawk, as his young clamour hungry
in the nest beneath his breast,
and he surveys the Earth below knowing
without any doubt that their meal
lay somewhere below,
for to him it has been given
each day to flush it out without a failure.

Give me this day to know full well
without a doubt I was born
for such a purpose
and lies no question in my heart
that this end will bring its due
and my making has been forged to
accomplish that which plans
brought me to this plane.
...and to, finally, rest in peace
knowing
these
things.
