Equipped

This armor
helmet
shield
sword:

my suit of faith
as I move toward
those dragons

Doubt
Deception
Doom

dispatch them before
they consume
my world with fears
and fumes or flames.

The battle cry inside my eyes
says this believer does not flee.

And so I stride into the storm
with wisdom, strength, and bravery.
