Broken shadows dance in the flickered flame of the ancient Hall. Valhalla bound in singing song, the fight does last til fading dawn. Give unto Valkyries charge to take their bounty of fallen foe. Breath a labor, I stand among my brethren. All brothers to duty sworn. Another fallen before my will, Valhalla bound make no sound. My calling near, I barely stand. Heavy breath I swagger forth. Another one delivered unto the Valkyries embrace. Cold steel flash strikes so cold. It seers bloodied flesh a warm welcome, take me home. She comes for me now, I feel her warmth. Release from this Abyss. I do confess, it feels amiss. Stand up she cries! Your glory's not over! With all my will I send my fury. Gone from my side the tide has turned. For today Valhalla can wait. Odin speed my fallen brothers. Glorious journey!
About the Creator
Jack Wayne Arnett
I enjoy writing in many genres. My favorite is horror, but I also enjoy poetry, romance and military life. I love the challenge of writing outside my comfort zone as a challenge. I live in Riverside, California and have 5 daughters.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
