Obsidian Knights

In shadows cast by moonlit, fading light, 
The knights of obsidian rise, shrouded, bold, 
With armor forged in the depths of the night, 
A whispering tale through the ages told. 

Their swords a gleam of darkness, cold and keen, 
With every strike, they weave a fate unkind, 
For in their hearts a tempest stirs unseen, 
Long past redemption—only wrath confined. 

Yet underneath that veil of dusk and dread, 
A flicker lives—the dreams they dare defend; 
Against the tide on which all hopes are fed, 
These warriors sorrow’s bitter threads transcend. 

So heed the call where shadows intertwine: 
Not all that's dark is lost; some light can shine.

A beautiful written sonnet Alesia, the knights of old were a force to be reckoned with. Have a lovely weekend. Tom
