"A Refugee's Journey", by Justynian Addelthorp |
|||
"There once was a lad, with light in his eyes, |
|||
And adventuring born in his heart. |
|||
One dark, chilly night, with stars in his sight, |
|||
He did on a journey embark." |
|||
"Oh yes, he did on a journey embark." |
|||
"'Now where shall I start?', the boy asked himself, |
|||
'And what shall my journey's end be?' |
|||
Thoughts bounced in his head and he grinned when he said, |
|||
'I shall travel till I reach the sea.'" |
|||
"'What a wonderous sight it must be!'" |
|||
"He walked down the road, and skipped as he strode, |
|||
Till now a dark forest he reached. |
|||
A crow standing there shrieked. 'Traveler beware! |
|||
Turn back while you can!', it beseeched." |
|||
"'Beware a forest time could not breach.'" |
|||
"The boy did believe the warning received |
|||
From this mysterious crow in his path. |
|||
'But a yearn in my soul says I must reach my goal |
|||
And so through these woods I must pass.'" |
|||
"And sands of time poured down the glass." |
|||
"He noticed the trees, all cluttered with leaves, |
|||
Had covered the sky and turned all into seeming. |
|||
He could not tell dark, he could not tell light, |
|||
It almost felt like he was dreaming." |
|||
"In a forest where time had no meaning." |
|||
"The night became day, the day became night, |
|||
In moments the months seemed to fly. |
|||
The boy stared with glee, as he now reached the sea, |
|||
Though it felt like a but a night had gone." |
|||
"'Twas ten years in the blink of an eye!" |
|||
"He rested his feet, with his journey complete, |
|||
But he longed for the place he called home. |
|||
'I miss all my friends, my family and things |
|||
And to sleep in a bed of my own...'" |
|||
"'I grow weary of being alone.'" |
|||
"He traveled once more, through the Forest of Lore, |
|||
With another ten years flying by. |
|||
'I bet nothing has changed and my friends are the same. |
|||
I can't wait to see the look in their eyes!'" |
|||
"But instead reached his home, much surprised." |
|||
"For on his returning, his village was burning. |
|||
His people were screaming in fear. |
|||
A man dashing by, yelled 'Stranger, be spry! |
|||
Take wind and get out of here!'" |
|||
"'The dead have arose and are near!'" |
|||
"The leader's voice boomed, 'Look back and you're doomed |
|||
Do not turn your heads or shed tears. |
|||
Our brethern are slain, but their legacy remains. |
|||
Let us now find a home we won't fear...'" |
|||
"'A home that is far, far from here.'" |
|||
"The boy, much confused, now listened for news |
|||
On what could have caused this destruction. |
|||
Just then a man spoke, 'The barrier broke! |
|||
What weakened its mystic construction?'" |
|||
"''Twas Lyras who caused this corruption!'" |
|||
"'But how can that be?!', scoffed one refugee, |
|||
'We all know that Lyras is dead.' |
|||
A gnome then replied, ''Tis true, Lyras died |
|||
But she's now rose again from her bed.'" |
|||
"Many days through the land, the group tread." |
|||
"The refugees walked until finally blocked |
|||
By the gate of a town they'd not known. |
|||
They stayed in this place, with all kinds of race, |
|||
And there, to this day, call it home." |
|||
"And never again shall they roam." |
|||
The song ends in a minor key. |
