Castle in the Sky
#1 of Poetry
Well... I felt bad for having spent so long to upload FH 5 on SoFurry, so I decided to write a short poem as a gift for all those who waited patiently for me to update. :3 Thanks again guys, and I hope you enjoy! This was based off a dream that I once had as a child ^_^ so excuse the lack of detail, because I can't remember much...
Crumbling stones, rustic walls,
A floating city that never falls.
Oh, serve thy lord that lives within,
Live no moment of chagrin.
Light that guides us to that course,
Thy king's actions know no remorse.
Knowing all, learning a passion,
Eyes filled with great compassion.
Take thou mind and treasure well
For this is where the dragon dwells.
Listen to the gypsy songs
Of this world that lies beyond.
Ask thy creature of no malice,
What is hidden in its palace.
Gold, glittering mountains of gold,
Buried secrets that were foretold.
Touch thy gold and thou will see,
Greed, the binder, cannot leave.
Take thy warning, listen now,
Or feel the wrath of the dragon's vow.
Guard all treasure the castle protects,
Trap thy souls of disrespect.
Knowledge is power, limitless still.
Life's too short to miss the thrill.
Castle, castle, in the sky,
I wave my hand, a last goodbye.
Those with hearts, truly pure,
Will meet the dragon, rest assured.
The dragon is not a beast of horror,
But a grateful gift to each explorer.
Justice follows in its wake,
The truth that will never break.
This dragon of hope, faith, and dreams,
Exists within the light that gleams.
Penetrating the deepest dark,
The dragon brings that tiny spark.
Hope that brightens our few days,
Shower the dragon with our praise.
That faint light blazed more and more,
Until there were, fires galore.
From the black ashes of the night
The dragon grinned in great delight.
Forming and shaping a dense sphere,
The dragon started Earth's first year.
It needed help, that he knew,
So he leaned down and softly blew.
And with his small breath of life,
He lay his plans of no strife.
And yet we fought, with no return,
The dragon left with great concern.
To his castle, he flew in regret,
His sadness we may never forget.
Retreating somewhere, somewhere out there,
He left us on the world we share.
Alas, he did not leave us alone,
A gift, he left, in the hearts we own.
A little reminder of his creation,
He left to us our imagination.
