The moon shone brightly in dark skies
A companion to my nightly walks
The light talks to me in whispers
"Your weary soul needs a night of rest
Its best to doze in the moonlight's glow
The water flows by, a delightful sight
Rest in my brilliant veils as you listen to golden tales
Before the serenity dies, before the sunrise."
Heart fluttered hearing the words uttered
Growing ever more weary as eyes grew teary
A crest of honor marked beneath tired eyes
Long nights in the moon's embrace
Attest to my hard work with grace,
Surely a night of rest is well deserved...
Reserved for a rest amidst the mist.
Tales of gold , told to guide the way–
In the moonlit lands of ages lost
Of Bold heroes who swayed and in dust stayed
Their Flame of honor turned cold
Their names forgotten in tales told
*"Test the waters, best to keep it warm,
Reach your arms for the sea, then..
See what harm lies in hidden seabeds;
Forbidden treasures, ridden with sins
Tens of thousands of pearls in water
Swirl in harmony as the sea whirls,
I wonder...did you falter..?
Greed...Did it falter your resolve?
treasures are fleeting, reeking of sin
Washed by the waves until they dissolve,
Seeking them is pointless—you say it's harmless?
Surely you jest, did you forget the rest?
Test the waters, best to keep it warm
Harm lies hidden in forbidden seas,
Heed the warning lest you end up rotten."*
