.
Don’t let the fates dissuade you,
keep a tight rein on your soul.
Never cower,
seeking shelter,
in the midst of the storm.
.
Never tell the world how high you soar,
let them on know you power
when you smash them from above,
but never fight a war
without love.
.
It’s more than mere chance;
you have a say
in choices that you make
along the way.
.
Be bold and be unafraid,
the fearful and the timid
will be made to break,
unless someone can stand
strong in the fray.
.
Ask the wind
if it fears the mountains.
Ask the mountains
if they fear the sky.
Ask the wolves
if they fear the future,
and if they care
that in time
they will die.
.
There is a silver moon
up in the night,
and stars that may guide
our journeys.
No answers will ever satisfy
our soul’s yearning.
.
So, do not fear,
but know you’ll be afraid
when darkness comes.
.
Light will find a way
to guide you,
until the end of days,
when all the walls shall fade
and we will pass on
beyond the veil.
.
In the epilogue of our tale,
we will look back,
but shall in death prevail,
standing strong and upright in the gale.
.
