The Sword



The Sword
Cruel compositions will carry me no further,
But only by the sweat of man shall I be delivered by the forging of festering scars.
And is it by temperance that I be molded so firm?
I dream of an age when words cut like steel and still hold strong with the fragility of a feather.
What a dangerous shadow we leave behind for those who must stand in it.
Dare I tempt the fates to wake another day to one such as this?
A day when man’s first waking thought is that of himself and not of his lot.
Perhaps when reason and faith’s ashes have been scattered to a sea of regret,
I shall be free again.
