the naming of the sword of cobalt

by

he weilds a sword of cobalt
from a land of desolate tundra
where there are diamonds in the rough
a land of snow and ice
frozen roses and cold birds
and bees trapped in winters grasp
he weilds a sword of cobalt
that sparks off blue when struck
forged by an empire lost
one of copper and zinc
gold and nickel
and sometimes sapphires
an empre of men with dirty hands
and dirty faces
who moved the earth
he weilds a sword of cobalt
forged deep under the crust
where men can turn to dust
but a sword has no fight
until it bears a name
so he held it up to the sky
blue lightning struck upon it
but it did not burn
he let the name escape his mouth
Juno
has come down to earth
to make her stand against the hordes of evil
she has chosen this man as her weilder
because his hands are steady
and hes always battle ready
but even more so
it was his destiny
for he climbed down deep to find her
in the dark, trapped in some quartz
and when his hand grasped the hilt
the quartz began to melt like ice in spring
Juno shun in the sunlight now
ready to cast aside the despair of lonilness
and the darkness of the past
she would forever remain at his side
through all his adventures and fights
through all the trials, and tribulations
she would become part of his body
and ease his mind
for all the days he lived
