The Promise

Post by Inwintersshadow »

The Promise

Funerary flowers
The words of heroes, friends, and strangers
A wind upon the hill above our house
A unicorn running

This be her land and home forever after
So long as I’ve anything to say about it
A broken bow buried by her side
Her scimitar rests above the hearth
Where we shared many meals and laughter

In my thoughts – in my dreams
She will live always

The White Lady has taken her away
And the key to my heart follows them
It knows its true owner

The key to my door shall be useful still
A promise broken - now kept
A heart shattered - now on the mend

She shall always have a place at this table,
this hearth, and forever:
the whole of my heart

Karin, my friend – my love,
There will be no more goodbyes between us…

We shall meet again
in the House of Nature

That was beautiful. :cry:
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.~~Groucho Marx

The grasp of characterization in this is phenomenal. Lovely imagery, too.
Enjoy the game
