Unfair Ransom
Quiescent body but a flying mind
Crave the peak, alas feet paralyzed
Damned days darker than night
Scratch my soul sharper than knives
Burning from inside, outside only ice
Wrathful wounds with sanguinary eyes
Besieged with a legion of harms
But who fights with fragmented arms?
Crestfallen eagles surrendered to the wind
Cannot soar with broken wings
Here nightingales hunt, eagles sing
The frozen root of life tree
Hopelessly dreaming of spring
Shadow resides on the throne
Wolves dance while sheep mourn
Even Legendary dragons live in vain
So cruelly are chained with pain
Someday, not late not soon
"Hey, brother, guess we are rescued."
Night runs, day comes, sun shines
But no eye, for darkness has made us all blind.
