A halo of light, leads the way
A path to follow, every day
Years ago, encrypted in stone
That those of this, walk alone

A different faith, a different life
Diverse hope, look through my eyes
See how it is, see how it has been
Do you understand, we can never win?

Motivated by the past, driven forward by the future
As time goes, the light dims, but not forgotten before.
How each time, darkness, before a reign of light.
Learning to adapt, changing for different times

A sliver of life, drop of hope sends us on
Hate of being different, from it evil spawns
When life pushes us pitfalls
Still we rise to brethrens calls

Supporting each other, through the times of despair
Even instead of happiness when there’s nothing but fear
If those ones who spit, on us, our lifestyle, needs help
Even how they wronged, we’ll offer aid so, all can be well

The rules we follow, great gifts bestowed
From who we worship, a warrior’s code,
Lines in our script, the world is our play
We walk a fine line, the warriors’ way

We are protectors, fighting for what we believe
Then there are the people, who live in peace,
Even so different, we are one and same
In that inside of us, we harbor a Flame

Hey rhia,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to these, and even now I can only reply to one, but I will reply to more soon...

Okay, I agree with the other person who posted on this, that it was a very nice poem but also that the rhythm, for me, was kind of goofy, no offence. I couldn't seem to find the flow, I'm not sure why, but it seemed stiff and choppy in parts...

Also, some of the wording in the stanzas were confusing. Like you would put something in stanza1 (for example, i'm not sure what stanzas it was but...) and than you would put something different. It wouldn't make sense, it just confused me.
I might be the only one that feels like that though, but i thought i would point it out just in case...

This stanza,

"Motivated by the past, driven forward by the future
As time goes, the light dims, but not forgotten before.
How each time, darkness, before a reign of light.
Learning to adapt, changing for different times"


I loved this, one of my favorites. The first line mostly, how it talks about "you" being motivated by past events yet driven by what is in store. I loved your choice of words in this stanza, it was amazing to me...

Thanks for sharing, I will post more on the others later
