Discord's Lament

A long time ago Legends once had told of a terrible might A world filled with awe inspiring sights Chaotic as told Ever unfolding reality's hold Now all but forgotten is the fright Eternity spent, trapped within a nightmare to keep them safe Swept under the rug, forgotten by the faces that kept him sane A creature ancient, terrible, now reduced to weathered garden art A truly tragic parable, they had never sought to know his heart To peer beneath the shell To hear the whispered words To search for meaning held To understand the things that they had heard A feeling inconsolable, dominating what he once had been A loss incomprehensible, conflagrating all he was within Tales tell of a soul, gentle loving kind, filled with warm concern A soothing embrace, who took the time to listen, to know and learn A light house beacon shining bright Guiding wayward sailors safely home A war that's won without a fight Better method an apprentice shown A grounding force for good Benevolent and free A secret understood A pure chaotic harmony And though all tales must end Their stories live within Their impact permanent A faithful witness to the things they did And when it's too hard to bare And when our spirit fades Their stories we will share We'll bring to life the love that they had displayed
