Raising the Standard
« on: January 26, 2012, 01:16:12 pm »

Master of Elements, Immortal Enchanter;
I emerge from my shell and unfurl across the skies.
With bladed grin and delicate claws,
parting the fabric to pass between worlds and realities.
Pearl of Wisdom hidden at my brow,
my glittering armor shields me
from the arrows and sharp edges of Life's atrocities.

Storm-bringer, Primordial Guardian;
Uncoiling from my eternal lair
beneath the intertwined roots of the World Tree,
breathing wrathful devastation in cyclic rivalry.
My mighty coils squeeze tremors from the Earth,
or thrash tidal waves across the restless Seas.
Behold my power running rampant
over the battlefields of history!
Armies birthed from the seeds of my teeth,
a testament to my ferocity!

Herald of Fortune, Celestial Guide;
I can show you the way.
Conquer the beast within
by looking with brave and honorable eyes.
Questing for and slaying each debilitating flaw,
is how you sinuously transform and ascend
to lie resplendent upon the hoard of the wise.
Learn my song, and you will soar
through even the darkest skies.


For those new to the game, each singing poem is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature. Can you guess who is singing here?

Wishing you laughter

\'You had to repay, good or bad. There was more than one type of obligation.
That’s what people never really understood.….Things had to balance.
You couldn’t set out to be a good witch or a bad witch. It never worked out for long.
All you could try to be was a witch, as hard as you could.\'
Terry Pratchett \'Lords and Ladies\'

Confuzzled and proud. :p
