Tension mounted,
Coils in belly,
Nerve ends alive,
On fire,
I am on guard,
And vigilant
Of the unknown
A threat is present,
I feel in my bones,
And I must remain
Present,
Prepared,
Awake,
Aware,
Well,
And able
To protect my keep
Waxing poetic on thoughts, theory & the times

From my distant view
I catch a semblance
Of burdens you carry
despite distance withstanding
My impulse remains
a need To carry
some of the weight
Somehow
Much like you have
More than once
For me
Please let me
Do so
for you
If you only could see
How much your being
Influences me
You might understand
Why I cannot
Pull back
My outstretched hand
