His castle stands in the world of ice
surrounded in the eternal night
He has riches and powers that grow
His heart however has no where to go

Upon an Autumn day in the icey void
He set out upon the darkest road
His days were long and his nights were cold
Yet his heart warmed against fears untold

On the longest night in a world of fire
Where an old king ignited all the pires
And the sun never left the sky
The ice king faced the demon throne

The great demon stood on a mountain high
Throwing balls of fire across the sky
As the ice king stood his ground
the great demon was looking down

The Great king drew his sword on high
And threw it mightily unto the sky
Into the fire travelling straight it flew
And the demon wailed as the sword struck true

Ice extinguished fire and burned
Into smoke the demon turned
As it disapated in the wind
And the world became a rain of cinders

And the road streched away and long
For the good king pure and strong
For his journey has far to go
And away he went into the frow

 Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Was reading an old poem Hiawatha i never exactly read the poem but when i was little we did it at school and i guess it stuck with me.

Every moment of every day...
your still with me in every way.

Walter a wonderful tale is being woven here, hurry up with Part 2!!!!  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
