An Ode to a Game of War
The bards will sing years from now
to violin or trumpet;
A song to touch the lonely ears
of the defeated or triumphant.
They’ll sing of Illingard, Nordes Mont
and of swords and men;
A bitter fight of cold and steel
upon high peaks, a snowy end.
And through the reeds and grassy knolls
a voice will carry and hover,
Perhaps in Budehuc, Amur, or Yaza,
memories on the winds forever.
Through the Highland’s plains and forests
on a gallop, on a roan,
Across the waters of Dunan and Toran
the songs will skip like stones.
Through Maky-land and Saen Elves
more songs and stories told,
Stories ‘nough to reach the ocean,
to Obel and Gaien bold.
And perhaps through pirates and ruffians,
it doesn’t matter how,
Across the seas the stories go,
Soon to reach the south.
Fishermen and river-walkers
sing and dance the songs of war,
while desert dwellers add their share
of poetry, history of yonder lore.
Though this world is not our own
we will always remember it,
A song to touch the lonely ears
of the defeated and triumphant. _________________

Yeah, it's quite awesome. Almost like a time vault, two year later I come back and see this, remembering everything again. _________________
