Poetry News Post #499

and drogon, and ostara, and... shrug. And to my journal I guess

Juniper, Drogon, and Ostara
I loved all of them. Dont listen to Rhenn, he's been sour since he stormed
out of the Sents over some dispute with Hashan a few decades back. But he's
still a half decent sort.

And now... the circumstances required for me to have a hack at poetry have
returned *smile* if you're lucky I'll make Judiel post one of hers to make up
for the agony reading this will put you all through.

Burned?
Not for a long time. Duty is a mountain, love is
both the steel-capped boot that drives us and
the sweet reward
that allows us
to swallow pride
to tolerate
and to be truthful

love for life drives us to accept
love for peace is the irony that causes
those not strong enough to violence
love for a cause is belief.
love for a friend makes life worth living

and love for a soulmate is an elusive dream that
is always
just

out of reach

Penned by my hand on the 3rd of Sarapin, in the year 267 AF.
