"Avine Poem Part 1" by Caitlin N. Veit

SF&F Picture 1 out of 2 by Caitlin N. Veit

The first poem about the land Avine and the recollection of what happened for the first season of the story.

Part 1:

Those of old will rise once more.

Men's pain and wrtah becomes a door.

Theirs taken by a great dark lord

When shadows filled out cautious world.

Forwards stop will then take place,

And all shall see and fear its face.

Do not look, you don't dare see,

For Lyrx proud spirits bend the Kree

The unexpected help will come,

Though all the others give them shun.

So they are loyal, it won't succeed.

Why not give them to vengeful Meade?

Great fires then will burn Avine,

To leave the land scorched and lean.

Death will kill so many then

Before Life's good hope renews again.

Plains and hills that now are bare

Will give all creatures' strength and care.

For floods will quench the thirsty ground

While o'er us all will dense earth mound.

Stinking swamps sit still and quiet

As Death returns to shadows silent.

A war will mount, though small they be,

Their power takes all those that see.

That gift now gone befriends the wronged

And leaves the ones to aid the young.

Avine's strange future they can bewcome,

As victor steals the little one.

Our hope to him, it changes there,

Now keep him from Dark Siron's lair.

With his power sound and hidden

your faith will flicker out as bidden.

Find who he is, his soul as well,

Search inside our keeper's cell.

For he alone can hear your heart

Though deep it hides it's peierced by dart.

And so is lost the sanity

with pools and mirrors clarity.

For fools believe them without purpose,

The wise will find their hidden curses.

New fights do strart the Shranic wars.

Truth's side won't win without its core.

All beings hearts will sadly sing

As bells do toll and loudly ring.

A melody will be the key,

But then you'll have your greatest fee.

To pay the debt that is most great

Seek the once rejected mate.

The pain once felt will magnify

And wounds rip open with your cry.

Let heal all weakened tortured minds

Before their sad as left behinds.

The greatest struggle is escape,

The enemy, you've seen its shape.

Do not forget your once sweet past

Or else their souls will fly quite fast.

Quite near dead and in harms way,

Your fate to live may fall away.

Winter will come late that year

To linger long with frost's cold leer.

So comes the glaciers tall and strong

To loom above as our past wrongs.

How long do glaciers freeze our hearts?

As long as lies live lives for parts.
