silver void

Darkness 

Death

Void 

Is this the path of Kings or Knights?

Armor clinks and blades rings,

throughout the hall as battles brawl.

Black stone stacking high,

Castle walls reflecting moon.

Fire blooms and blazes across all vision,

A shadow flees against their flicker.

Tall 

Steep 

Sharp

My path has lead me here, 

The sounds of battle and blaze behind.

Foot steps clatter against stone,

Soldier are nearing their plattering plate is louder.

Silver

Waves

Brother

I glance down the cliff face,

Darkness and stars greet me.

The rush of waves ring through my ears,

Pounding in beat with the feet that follow.

To my left is shadow,

A figure clad with royal void.

My mind is foggy, 

Which path is mine?

King or Knight?

Flee or Fight?

Heir or brother?

Void or silver?

Steel or ink?

My head throbs at the thought, 

Yet the voided figure doesn't move.

I look behind, forest, road, field, home, and stone

Consuming blaze dark & deadly eats all I've known

A hand reaches out and rest on shoulder,

Comfort conveyed through hand and man.

Peering eyes stare into souls,

Two void, two glow.

§~×~§~×~§~×~§

Turning back to the sea and cliff ahead 

A figure stands still grasping head.

No glow 

No void

Just gray that's dulling fast.
