Ode to Eight
[07.06.00] » by Timothy J Carillet
Shoreline
White sand
Sunshine
Foreign land
Go, go, fly, fly
Moving, moving, moving, moving...
Desert cracked, rushing past, floating in a dream repeating
Come here, I'll be waiting; why? Because I love, I promise
Draw near, light is fading-try! Even time can't stop us
Fight fear, I'll be waiting, just remember this is ours
Far...across the fields of blue and rainbow tinted flowers
She waits, standing in a zephyr-driven blossom shower
Hand to grasp the flower petal, let it soar to Heaven's hallow
Clouds of thunderous night impending, flash of light and blade descending
Impact, paused hush, gloved hand, blood rush
Choir sings, head high, metal rings, war cry
Snowy feathers, fierce endeavor, face of darkness black as ever,
clashing steel and solace severed
Fuel the rage that burns in battle
Push the angst beyond abandon
Epic struggle
Good and evil
Test of power
Hero, coward
Destiny awaits the lionhearted brave enough to face it
Caught up in a fantasy demanding you and me to chase it
Do I dream?
Touch his ring
This is real and he is waiting
In our place, the happy ending
Hammered to the ground by such might,
fight growing weak
Looking up to see his rival strike,
Blood, tracing cheek
Stand, retaliate
Lock eyes, rivaled hate
Sword arc swinging low
Aimed for final blow
Spark cloud, full force
Upward cut, fate's course
Clean swath, lean back
Time of truth, feathers black
Him, her, arm's reach
Falling...into...
Each.
