Shielded

A glass of courage, shielded in a night of no fear,

leads the heart to do things it wouldn't.

A call, a message, a longing reach.

Out to the darkness, hoping to reach its safe target.

But a false, shielded courage will not know true safety.

For only true unshielded courage sees truth.

And in the morning, when the false courage is gone,

and the truth glows in the sunrise,

the target reveals itself again to be,

just as dangerous as ever.
