Unwrapped Claymore

Unwrapped Claymore

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Again I bend to kiss this  blade

Then face the winds of Change in steadfast resolution

Whisperings of vows long made

Spin in dizzied revolution

Old and weary wrinkles fade

In face of coming restitution

Tis now my turn to face the night

and at long last to know what's right

Freedom's been a constant fight

Worth every dancing minute

To earn a living in it

For anyone who has ever marched to the sound of thier own drum, this poem would be music. It's a beautiful poem, my favorite lines:
Whisperings of vows long made

Spin in dizzied revolution

Old and weary wrinkles fade

In face of coming restitution

Tis now my turn to face the night

and at long last to know what's right
