"Siege By Flight"

Siege By Flight - Narrative Poem

 

Flap your wings and go ahead

Don’t give up & don’t turn back

I’ve gone with you, shown and led

This is for what I’ve been bred

Now it’s come & I shan’t lack

In mind, in wing, or in back

Ne’er been closer to my life been shed

 

Lyhgo-Hoyshu waits my come

But already I am numb

He sits high in his castle

We fly on, bright as pastel

It’s rising out of the mist

So high it cannot be missed

Ne’er been closer to my life been shed

 

I land at his wooden door

You land with me, with your friends

Above me, I see him soar

He strikes down & I have bled

Soon I know it’ll be the end

My claws flash out, sharp to rend

Ne’er been closer to my life been shed

 

As he dies I know my fault

I’d thought too fast, scared to halt

My chance was up, we were gone

I look at you, you my son

We both know what I have done

He was great & I had none

Now I know my life has been shed.
