The moon grew full over the sea
And rose into the cloudless heaven
Just a sliver gone from fullness
But lights the dark land so we see
Now three score where once were seven
Escaping to life through darkness

Trapped in the attempt to escape
Many enemy overwhelms
Our backs against the quick river
Thoughts return to a peaceful lake
Before this warrior’s death realm
Full armored I walk in water.

I glance lastly up to the moon
Knowing that I will join her soon.

Gloom

Professor, there are so many ways to tell a story,
but that you choose to bless our eyes this way,
I cannot thank you enough.

I like the "full armoured I walk on water", line - it's a classic

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

A dash of rain, lightning, thunder, and a pack of wolves howling in the distance would also have been nice. Good Show!

God Bless!

Thank you, Cpat Hair,
Pleased you liked this small series,
It was pulled from a old story
Just modified to a different format.

Thank you, Sunshine,
The fact that you enjoyed
Is thanks enough for me.

Thank you, Kethry,
Glad you got some enjoyment form my words

Thank you, Radrook,
Yes those things would have made a dramatic addition,
But they were not in the original story,
Perhaps I’ll write with those elements in the future,
Pleased you liked this
