The Conjurer
Location
The darkness rages
So conjure a fortress to contain it
contain it and keep the outside terrible and wonderful and green and alive
and still the darkness rages
so conjure a hero to fight it
to fight it within the fortress that contains it
and keep the outside terrible and wonderful and green and alive
and still the darkness rages
and so conjurer still more heros and still more towers until you have an entire godforsaken land to contain it
but it’s futile
because the source of the darkness is long long ago and far far away
and why
why does it live when it’s source has died
and outside it is so wonderful and terrible and green and and alive?
but contain it and fight it because they can’t know what lies behind quiet face
they can’t know of the darkness
and of the fortress that keeps them out and keeps the darkness in
and they can’t know of the endless lonely incarnations of a single hero
all they know is the smart
quiet
odd one.
