Far across barren fields and bloodied rivers Through woods filled with fallen soldiers Underneath the darkest of skies Fights a prince built of courage and vigor Proudly does his singing sword fly Vainly does the sun try to expose tears Washing over the face, grim and feared Rising up in the middle of battle, he does tower Strong and tall, an example of his royal power Arrows, axes and swords rain down The prince, possessed, fights his greatest hour Finally fatigued and outnumbered, he is cut down Fingers working the straps, running out of time Removing armor to ease his heavy, burdened mind Above his form, the soldiers fight unknowing Their faces hardening, a deadly countenance showing Fighting others with their murderous wares While underfoot, constant tears flowing And a still, suffocating silence in the air As he waits for the end to come, against death defiantly, Vowing to one day return to her, he waits patiently |

This is a hugely new style for you. Enjoyed. I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really. |

Another fine proof of your versatility, Jer. You cross so many different streams, and do each one justice with deep thoughtfulness. Though this isn't my favorite genre, I enjoyed your presentation.  |
