Warrior Within

Warrior Within
by Leah Myers

Today’s battles are fought within
an internal landscape.

The battle worn warriors of the past
​are now replaced.

This new warrior faces himself

He rises to meet each unloving layer
inside of him.

Doing the work needed to heal, evolve
​and reclaim his wholeness.

He is tireless in his efforts

The evidence of his strength, force and power doesn’t show in battle scars, cold disconnection or defensive posturing.

It’s evidenced in the light of his soul that shines from within and lights the way.

It’s evidenced in the authenticity of his being,
which radiates a frequency that has the power to heal and call the lost home

It’s in the warmth of his smile.
The clarity of his eyes and the openness
of his heart.

It’s in the strength and power of his vulnerability.
And his willingness to be present
​in every moment.

His courage to feel and experience
his true emotions.

​His strength to sit fully with the truth of what is. With acceptance, openness and understanding, instead of fear, rejection, judgement and control.

He is a real warrior.
A new archetype of being.
A true King.
 
I salute the warrior within you.
I am warmed by the light of your heart.
And I am grateful for the work
​behind your radiance.
