Reminded

I was reminded today of the sounds of the battlefield that I am on.  Reminded that its a battle, that all of this life is. That we live in a world between realities, that  D day has already happened so to speak. It happened on the day  that  Jesus died. Evil choked on its own venom and lost the war. Now,  now we fight for  the day when we will see victory, we fight to save all of the souls that have yet to hear of the gospel, the one of redemption.

I've been walking through the dark valley 
( Doubt, Fear, pain, loneliness, abandonment) 
The sun broke through the walls towering above me
(I squinted into the sun and felt its warmth on my face) 
I lost my faith in myself, in the one I believed in. 
(Set aside my sword, forgot what I was fighting for) 
Found a stream as i emerged, bathed, and sat. 
( Took time to heal, after watching the world crumble around me) 
My dreams left  me in that time. My fears prevailed 
(Watch the world crumble. Watch those I love suffer) 
I cut myself,  walked away from my battle, my calling. 
(I got caught up in civilian affairs.) 
Convinced myself I could be happy without you, my soul mate.
(Lived a lie. Until one day, I heard the sounds of the battlefield) 
Felt the fire burning deep within my bones, deep within my soul.
(Could feel the sword in my hand, that had become apart of me.) 
I felt the fire deep within reflect in my eyes, felt my hands burn
(Felt myself change as you touched my chest, a vision a dream?) 
Barely missed the arrow that skimmed my heart. 
(what did they aim for when they missed my heart?) 
Let out a snarl and threw myself back into the fray. 
There you were, as my sword clashed against anothers. 
(I felt your hand reach out, I shattered as light exploded my body) 
I remembered, I remembered who I was and I became alive again.
This is my calling, this is my battle.
