by the water dark and blue
dancing in the shadows view
where Delilah whispered to the land
the throne she apropos to command
held in grasps oh so tightly
not one came to be thy knightly
standing near the longest shore
audacious for so much more
strangers wandered from all ‘bout
bottomless tales filled with doubt
seekers coming from afar
finding hidden truths in Star
she told an altered shade of grey
a cryptic plague they must slay
drowned in trenchant hypocrisy
denied such alluring prophecy
the light blazing not too bright
subaqueous into the night
waves crashed against the bank
drawn out by the crank
houses and castles stood tall
inside adumbrated brawls
wholes drifting apart
skilled masters of the art
squandering thoughtless lies
breaking bonded allies
ones alike assimilated
the truth as once illustrated
the waters turning still and dark
showing the path on which we’ve embarked
dragging our feet on this climb
rain forced feet with perfect time
minds running barbaric
panic-stricken like child
clouds raging a heavenly storm
cries caterwauling out of norm
lightning seizing out the truth
no, give nor take of innocents
Stars fighting far and near
no second glancing fear
daughter of Concord ladyship
the seas playing as a battleship
warrior marks, the highest count
nix billow she will surmount
obscurity looming at life’s threshold
bone cracking, soon shiver shaking cold
luminescent heat
terror has been beat
an ever onerous strife
dangling in the balance of life
by the water dark and blue
dancing in the shadows view
where Delilah whispered to the land
the throne she disavowed to manned
held in grasps oh so slightly
our Star came to be thy knightly
