En Gard

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jun 29, 2021 

En Gard!
Reflections.
All we do,
looking
back.
Mosaic
painting.
Reflecting 
back
internally.
Games played.
Life lived.
Conflict,
competition.
Parry, thrust.
Sabre 
in hand.
En Gard!
Constantly.
Life or
death.
Win or
lose.
It’s all
the same.
Look 
in the
mirror.
Watch 
an event.
Life.
Conflict.
Constant 
conflict.
Never ending
conflict.
Nature 
of the
beast.
Sports a
reflection.
Reflecting 
existence.
Existence 
in this
place.
