Warrior by Kilronis

Hail mighty Warrior
What post do you stand?
Is it in some corridor?
Or watching o'er the land?

Hail, mighty watcher!
Who's gate do you guard?
Is it the keep of the Ubar?
Or is it of your heart?

Hail, mighty One!
Standing tall and true
Who is that which comes?
Comes there to see you?

Hail lonely Man.
Smile, for the day is done.
To Home you now must travel
The safety of all is won.

Hail to his Home Stone!
Here he is the king.
Let no man enter in here
Without his heart bound to sing!

Hail, might Warrior!
Who's heart beats for true
Tis Honor that he lives for
To stand and watch o'er you....

One wish     by velith

If i had a wish
it would be to rediscover laughter
the giggle of a child
without the trials and pain
that comes with being an adult-
i would remember the simple things
the joy of life.

spinning circles
weaving to and fro
whispered secrets
unimaginable dreams

i have grown
and in doing so have left the child
i have seen the end of the rainbow
and i found no pot of gold
i have heard a sunrise
i have felt a sunset
i have lived.

i have begun to live my dreams
i have expanded my horizons
i have felt great joy
i have felt crippling sadness
i have found that in those things
and in every place in between
there is the laughter of a child.

The Best of Intentions  by Yurial

With the best of intentions we all go through life.
The best of intentions unheeded, cause us all strife.

Many times there is risk and many more loss.
These are the rivers all of us cross.

Without sacrifice, it is who we would be.
But this sacrifice, makes it hard to see.

Each of us different, each unique.
The reality of intentions, what we seek?

Some for ourselves, others in love.
Either way, action puts you above.

The best of intentions don't define who you are.
But the best of intentions can take you quite far.

Ignore them and regret your past.
Explore them and move forward fast.

They will drive you forward and spurn you on.
Act on them friends, before they are gone.

--Existence  by Yurial

It comes from within and ends there too
Powerful enough to make you anew

What is it called, this magical force?
What is it called, what is it's source?

It can take you to places never been tread
It can take you to places filled with dread

Which way to turn, which way to run?
No guarantees the ride will be fun

What chance have you, against this force?
What chance have you, and what is it's source?

One step forward two steps back
Look around you and all is black

One step forward another one too
These are the steps to make you anew

Which way does it lead, no fighting this force?
Which way does it lead, no setting it's course?

Which way to go, which way is right?
Which way to go, no help in sight?

Can you use logic to find your way?
Or will your logic lead you astray?

What are the answers and where are they found?
What are the answers and what was that sound?

Where is that force, and where is that light?
Where is that force, and what a fine plight!

This is the life, that you now seek?
This is a life, not for the meek

Some can lead, others must follow
You'll never succeed, if you are hollow
