A Darksome Path

In a time of forgotten realms and whilom truth

Noble kings and valiant men

In a land where shades lurked in the dark

Where at night tales began to rouse

Ir was the dawn of the thousand fires

When he stepped into the night

Swearing to face all dusmay

To dare the ancient mights

Enthralled by a flickering glint

That allured him to follow

To a place where the realms entwine

A gate to the other side (adistant light)

Faint singing called him to step inside

His eyes strayed aloft

Willing to go towards his fate

A last look to the sky

When he passed the gate

For ever and ay (for a year and a day)

A wanderer lost in nowhere

Never found a place to dwell

Withersoever he fared

Twilight shapes begged him to stay

But the glinting stars

Drowned all leathe

Restless he hied afar
