A dance of vagrant emissaries
darkens the horizons door
and begs for tender mercies
on these grim & bloody shores

And time which can't escape itself
vies for the crucial hour
when man shall meet his maker
& strip him of his power

"when man shall meet his maker, and strip him of his power"
Yes, it's funny, but as much power as we think we have, the reality is, we have none. And all the supposed power we do have, it's made into much more than it should. Modesty in moderation.

I liked this bit at first, but I mis-read the ending, so I thought it was saying that the person would strip the higher being of power. Yeah, I know: I'm a ditz! #^_^#

Perhaps we will find that we are what we fear the most.

Well done, I wonder how many will realize what this verse says?

Thank you all for reading this & responding...I hadn't even realized the ending could be interpreted in more than one way!(How cool)

As for my true intentions I'll just say this : D edgar Grey....your not a ditz!

Well written & enjoyable to read. I especially enjoyed the story-line.
