A long time ago
Legends once had told of a terrible might
A world filled with awe inspiring sights
Chaotic as told
Ever unfolding reality's hold
Now all but forgotten is the fright
Eternity spent, trapped within a nightmare to keep them safe
Swept under the rug, forgotten by the faces that kept him sane
A creature ancient, terrible, now reduced to weathered garden art
A truly tragic parable, they had never sought to know his heart
To peer beneath the shell
To hear the whispered words
To search for meaning held
To understand the things that they had heard
A feeling inconsolable, dominating what he once had been
A loss incomprehensible, conflagrating all he was within
Tales tell of a soul, gentle loving kind, filled with warm concern
A soothing embrace, who took the time to listen, to know and learn
A light house beacon shining bright
Guiding wayward sailors safely home
A war that's won without a fight
Better method an apprentice shown
A grounding force for good
Benevolent and free
A secret understood
A pure chaotic harmony
And though all tales must end
Their stories live within
Their impact permanent
A faithful witness to the things they did
And when it's too hard to bare
And when our spirit fades
Their stories we will share
We'll bring to life the love that they had displayed
