"Tell us of the fall of Heroes"

wind

Listen
to the wind,
and hear the sound
of my heart breaking
as it moves
through eternity
on its way
to a place
where angels
still weep
over the souls
of those
who have lost
all love.

wisdom

Men,
in their infinite greatness
keep their worldly knowledge
written down
in books and scrolls
and so sell to all
who would pay the price
for that which
should be earned.
But their wisdom,
they keep close at hand
to be shared with
angels and saints

path

Eventually
all things
merge into one.
The truth is always
the truth,
no matter where you find it.
Wisdom is always wisdom
whether found in heaven
or hell.
There is only
one answer,
one path to take,
one chose to make,
and this you will know
when it is time
to choose.

deeds

Great deeds go undone, while men of great stature
stand idle.
So men of lesser worth are elevated by fortune
and need.
In their ranks, count I as one.

time

In the fullness
of time,
all that we have
strived to build
will lay wasted.
great monuments
will not bring back
the dead they honour.
so the causes
that men live
and die for,
will lay forgotten,
remembered only
in unread books,
stacked high.

truth

I know now,
there is no
one thing
that is true.
From dawn
till dusk
in the shadows
of all
that lay
in between.
the truth
is where
you find it,
and also,
where you don't.
