There is wisdom gained by suffering From decaying minds knowledge grows In darkness creeping ever through him Lost in those final death throes Victory is certain, rest assured The conqueror stands before his eyes A lady all in black as the night she came Among the ruins of ghostly cries Once proud were the battlements With banners defiantly displayed Strength in resolve of one so absolute Through which she easily strayed There were memories that lay scattered Valiant soldiers felled one by one Their might in arms broken asunder Fighting and fighting until there were none He alone, left standing upon the debris By a doom as a heavy burden he bore For some far greater importance Than things such as forevermore She moved purposeful through the ruins Of what was once held so strong And he dared to catch her eye In a time that felt like it took so long Her dark hair and pale face were familiar And she walked like she ruled this place But as she got closer he could see There a smile mixed with tears on her face And those eyes held him mesmerized Then woken from the spell, shaken and all alone He beheld where the ruined walls once met And there remained a single, standing cornerstone |

perfect title for this piece, me thinks my comment not to sound flippant, please, in its contrast to such a piece as this is, soft, poignant Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
