Bright Bay of the Blessed, faces turned to the West, Drawing hearts to where they belonged. Aged hands remained young in shaping The wood and the cloth for the way, For the vessels they give help others to live, Eyes lifting to brighter days. There were ships going forth from the Havens, Filled with those weighted down and bent, Each bow in the waves a release of the stays, Each sea-wind a breath heaven-sent. They came to the Havens in sorrow, War-wearied by darkness they'd known, Yet bright were their brows as the foam 'neath the prows Turned at last toward their home. There were ships going forth from the Havens, 'Til at last remained but one, Patiently waiting for Ages' abating, For the day when Battle's won. How sweet was that singing arrival, That day filled with music did dawn, And the weeping of tears for balming of fears Was heard one last time in that song. There's a ship going forth from the Havens, And upon her that one light shone, Soon lost in the sun, final journey begun, And the last watched it sail, Alone. - -------------------- "When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." - Desiderius Erasmus Post Extras:       Rosie Cotton Daughter of the King and Princess of the Mark Reged: 10/13/04 Posts: 6274 Loc: USA Re: Primula's pennings [Re: Primula]       #124080 - 01/04/07 08:07 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   It's beautiful, Prim.

Stand Felled by loyalty's own hand, His dying face knew not your stand - Behold the honour of this house! The golden maid midst battle's smoke, By declaration's final stroke, You stood before his slayer. Red those eyes and dark his mace - Shattered arm and greying face, Chilling your bone to match your heart, Chalice tipp'd, crushed lily-bud, Spilling your gold among the blood, To lay, a time unseeing. O trampled flower, sullied gold - Your strength was of the House of old, The death you sought was not your own. Pale the steel that held not back - Sable smoke and spirit black Rise upward. - -------------------- "When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." - Desiderius Erasmus Post Extras:       king_theoden King of the Realm Reged: 01/31/02 Posts: 21906 Loc: The Hairy Foot Tavern Re: Primula's pennings [Re: Primula]       #127507 - 12/08/07 09:38 AM Edit   Reply   Quote   Oh My!
