No Shield Will Shield Forever
One had to be strong.
More powerful than the rest.
A proud king... perhaps a fearless chief...
to command such an exquisite shield.
It may have shielded him many times.
Yet no shield will shield forever.
Even the finest shield is left behind.
Even the finiest shield is left behind I like that Nothing lasts

DeleteWhat a very pretty owl shield! And interesting reflections, in both this and the earlier piece – not copies of each other, but each presented just right for whether it's poetry or prose.
ReplyDeleteIt was Gemini that helped me to give the image a fresh look.
DeleteThis is one thing that always bothers me about us human, we love decorating the weapons...

ReplyDeleteOne day there will be no shield. Shield may break or be lost or forgotten.
If one has to suffer, one will.
you bring a new perspective...
DeleteThe owl shield is beautiful! True and very well said.
ReplyDeleteEven a shield will disintegrate in time. I love the art of the owl.
