The real "A Radiance to Find"

[Deviance]

~ A Radiance to Find ~

 

In our beginnings,

The forsaken loves never forgave,

The forgotten hearts never healed,

Deception was our fate.

 

Distraught and disillusioned from then we fought,

A fuel we found in ire, in spite,

Such darkness blinding us from true sight,

A satin bind, Lucifer’s knot.

 

A contingency damned by majority,

My gaze reflected within a stilled lake,

And I look out into the eyes of those few,

Forever struggling with my feud.

 

During that one moment,

That one moment I stand at the cliff,

Such finality within my soul,

A hand grasps; a rarity so secluded.

 

This hand, this hope,

A friendship divine,

A trust built to oppose damnation,

Stands like a mountain.

 

I continue now,

To the last moments of sanity,

To what we all never see,

To a future of inevitability.

 

To our end.

[Peredhil]

I like this on a few levels. I kept wanting to slip into a Nordic saga chant, but the meter didn't quite support it.

 

I like the setup, the exploration, and then the resolution. An entire tale within a poetic piece.
