Bring It On

It seems I am being challenged
Challenged to hold fast on shaking grounds
To utter words of defiance at sky 
and dare it to thunder back

It seems I am being challenged
To a duel without guns
With a shapeless, nameless opponent
Crushing me, eclipsing the sun

With my body sprawled on the floor
My face turns and unwavering I scream
"Not a chance'
My loyalty long left the piers of fear 
My understanding ripped the veil of illusions
And loosed the bars of the cage of beliefs

It seems that I am being challenged
To look within
To own the power awaiting to Be
To see behind the shattered mirror and pieces of a little me
The glorious reflection of All that IS.
