.
my skull lies split
in splintered bits
my flesh claims only sod
I rise on screaming sterling wings
of steel to meet my god

in battle on the battlements
where saints and saviors trod
I rise once more to meet my king
and wrestle with my god

This reminded me of when Jacob (was it Jacob?) wrestled with the Angel of the Lord.
And his 'walk' was forever changed! I enjoyed this Kevin.
