You never saw it coming

A savage blow

Out of the blue

Unprovoked

Knocking you to your knees

Dazed and confused

The mind spins

The heart pounds

Muscles tense

Fight or flight decision

Chaos clears to recognition

Pain identifies location

Brain assesses severity

Heart sends assistance

Mechanisms still functioning

Stand to defend

Brain fully engaged

Blood pumping

Senses alert

Armed and ready

Life is a deadly assassin

Cloaked in good intentions

Quick to render its blow

Precise in its targeting

Cunning in its overture
