The Dream
By TA Odinson Walsh, 1519, CG/CW

I came across a sword adorned
with sparkling silver runes
and in my heart a song was born
so I took up the tune
and sang a song of striking demons down
then danced with feet a'fire
for with the sword came too a crown
and with that crown desire
to be more that I have henceforth
allowed myself to be
to know the price and thus the worth
of life and living free
to never say surrender
when I know the cause is right
to those I love to render
all that which I may or might
to seek me an adventure
that will set my soul apart
and always pledge and insure
honor is what guides my heart
it was then I was awoken
from what must have been a dream
but the spell had not been broken
and sword was what it seemed
the means by which I could cut down
what stood between my soul
and its recapture of the crown...
that's life that I control
