Heroes have walked this broken path
shades lost to the wind
who come near to the throne and lay
upon the ancient stone
Given way to the spent breath of forgotten kings
in halls that still echo with their cries to the rain
What response cast out of blackest night
but the sharpest voice thrown skyward
to a pitiless sky gazing down
into light cast by a glowing lantern
is worthy of the flame casting shadows of passing souls
who know it only as the lost candle
lit on a path to the sea of ghosts?

From ages past
Shouts of victory wails of defeat float
Upon the winds

Nice I think there are some amazing poetry from many talented artist and poets that have a similar theme. I wander if it has something to do with the state our world is in. Great stuff my friend. Lovely writing. Love ❤️ J

It is easy to be influenced by the fear and uncertainty so rampant these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people end up writing stuff brought on by that. Thanks Joni (: cheers!
