The Askance Chapter 2 Part 2b
Only by pureness of tranquility had we willing to embrace
Through a given fate of coincidence, can our meeting than fall to place
Mortals hunger for wisdom, desire our kind to feed upon miseries
And in return, it’s the wealth of knowledge humanities had earn blindly
In the Ancients, its our only breath of life we rely upon to outlive
Much so we disappear as soon, if simply lost is this belief
It's my pride and honor for we’re the mirrors of our souls
Shall either of us lose this trust, then its tranquility we can never enfold
It belongs essential for these meanings be well received and heard
For a true believer shall once again be titled ‘Knight of the Word’
We are the bearers of sins till our very end
The path of yearnings we seek, till death be when?”
A silent whisper, a golden shimmer
A moment’s dust and The Askance was gone
A lifted burden as light as feather
Sorrows in my heart no longer belong
So much I have desired to ask
Yet it appears much so I’ve already known
Questions unwind yet answers never last
A blinded passage where guidance of none was shown
A portraiture of him arise in my mind
A distance image comprising beyond an ancient age
As clearly as gathered, this illusion I find
My portray of words lay stained in blood written bondage
Deeply phrase, spells his eyes of a thousand words
Of skin dyed a color rich in the ever finest green
Upon his chest, chains the death of a late knight’s amulet
Of a wounded soul there veils a truth never to be seen
Am I the chosen one, or perhaps its he?
Only to certify, it bears the uncertainties of truth
Yet is there truth within questionable lies to be?
And will one day, our mirrored souls be removed?
Had since a thousand sins slept my thousand dreams
To be A Knight Of The Word… I dare not ask
Perhaps purified shall come tranquility we both may bring?
May The Askance rid my sorrows till forever be last!
