Might

My mind is my sword

My honor- my shield

No greater power

Could I ever wield.

I was told, that it would be interesting to hear about the backstories of some of these poems. This one in particular came to me as I watched the sun set while sitting on a hill in the desert. For some reason I was thinking about the Game of Thrones (G. R. R. Martin) quote:

“A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. That is why I read so much.”  

 Eventually, that resulted in this short stanza. Side note, Game of Thrones has some incredible quotes.
