Impenetrable Fortress

Impenetrable fortress
Stands tall and aloof
Walls intimidate
Though mortar begins to crumble
The moat takes captives
Only to ransom souls
Weathered coupled with lack of use and the drawbridge becomes incorrigible 
Arrows fly from behind the stone barricades 
Yet wound not
For faith the protective shield 
Swap lands yet another obstacle
The trek arduous 
Muscles ache 
Exhaustion sets in
The fortress looks higher on the hill than before
Rest is only for the downtrodden 
Fortitude rejuvenates
Faith the unencumbered  armor 
The warrior of God
Pursuant of evil
Deafening shrills cannot penetrate the warrior heart
For a melody continuously plays
Just as the lyre soothed David's soul 
This harmony the battle cry of justice
It awakens the spirit 
Truth revealed
Truth sought after
Trudging through the marsh
Arrows narrowly miss 
Fear and exhaustion but a distant memory
The fortress within reach
The picture painted from afar pales in comparison to reality
Fortress walls collapsing
The moat but a shallow brook
A glass drawbridge stained in fury
Feathered arrows the weapon of choice
The mighty fortress 
A fictitious illusion
The scream of a banshee 
The walls crumble 
Glass door shatters
Dust permeates the air
An encampment of God warriors
The dust settles 
The impervious, grandiose fortress
Constructed to hold hundreds
Houses only one
Perched on a throne as if royalty
Evil radiates
The encampment too powerful
Evil surrenders
Warriors of God prevail
The fortress thought impenetrable
Thought mighty, without flaws
Thought perfect in possession and demeanor
The towering fortress 
An idiom at best
