Chosen Son of Fate

It's been a LONG time since I've written anything like this...

I'm not really sure where this came from. I had just finished writing a small piece about traveling that I was sort of satisfied with, and that lead me to starting this. It's nice to get back in touch with some of my older work, and this definitely accomplishes this. For the first time in a while, I was really paying attention to the rhythm of the piece as well, so I'm really happy with this one!

Chosen Son of Fate:

A day of reckoning has come…
Thou, oh chosen son of Fate…
Forever onward shall you go…
With hope of purpose in thy soul…
A thirst for love within this heart…
And Crimson Dream beyond these eyes…

A never ending tapestry…
A challenge faced forevermore…
This destiny now falls to you…
The man who weaves the Dreamer’s song…
A journey you must face alone…
If you still seek the wings to fly…

Go now with this blessed curse…
A story that will never end…
Yet through this, nor will it begin…
The dream forever unfulfilled…
The fallen, lost in crimson tears…
To rise again in emerald light…

And though this burden must be held…
Know this, Seeker of the truth…
Despite the hand of Brother Fate…
This story yet remains your own…
As much still lies ahead of you…
Your journey’s only just begun.

You see this world through emerald eyes…
It’s darkness, light, and all between…
The lost, forgotten and forlorn…
With all your hope, you shall redeem.
And with this strength that you now hold…
These falling souls will turn to you…

Through courage, I shall fight for them…
Through valor, they shall persevere…
Through honor, they shall sing my song…
Through wisdom, they shall know this name…
Through fire, justice shall be done…
And through these words, I shall decree:

There will be freedom, this I swear…
And peace shall span across this land…
This Crimson Dreamer doth declare…
The spread of darkness too, shall end…
A dreamer only by my name…
As I now heed the heroes’ call…
And I shall be their champion…
The long heralded son of Fate…
