A flash

the final light

Is it the tip of an arrow closing in

Is it the tip of the sword as it slices the cold morning air

Is it the sharp edge of a battleaxe searching for your flesh

The flash 

between life and death

where life is measured in moments and movements

Either fatal or victorious

The journey to hereafter

will be accompanied

by the final Flash

before your eyes

Every warrior knows

when he sees his flash come
