Embodiment of a Sparrow

Embodiment of a sparrow

Deft hand became stifled
One man's life becomes a ripple
Gauntlet affixes a bridle
Proclaimed  a idol

Fist clenching low
Archer's imbued bow
Body quivered like his arrows
Embodiment of a sparrow

Anthem for a obscured soul
Wind is a bitter blow
Gauntlet's icy hold
Prolonged the cold

Events transpired,
Such that brought down an empire
Whistling tone of his arrows
Embodiment of sparrows
