A Darksome Path

In a time of forgotten realms and whilom truthNoble kings and valiant menIn a land where shades lurked in the darkWhere at night tales began to rouseIr was the dawn of the thousand firesWhen he stepped into the nightSwearing to face all dusmayTo dare the ancient mightsEnthralled by a flickering glintThat allured him to followTo a place where the realms entwineA gate to the other side (adistant light)Faint singing called him to step insideHis eyes strayed aloftWilling to go towards his fateA last look to the skyWhen he passed the gateFor ever and ay (for a year and a day)A wanderer lost in nowhereNever found a place to dwellWithersoever he faredTwilight shapes begged him to stayBut the glinting starsDrowned all leatheRestless he hied afar
