What Awaits Us?

What awaits us...
Beyond uncharted waters?
What awaits us...
Beyond our own protected borders?

In the haze; dust appear's on the horizon
As the earth's heart trembles with vibration
Steady; We hold our battle formation
Silent; We gaze in anticipation
When faced against armoured giants
Of trumpeting Seleucid & Carthaginian
mighty war elephants

What lies beyond the protected borders of Rome's vast empire? As her legions march endlessly to all four corners of the known world.
