WALK WITH SHADOWS

Walk With Shadows

When darkness shone forth its seamless gleam

When the guards doth stand waiting for warmth

The leaves lay listless and flap the same

Two lords of the night shall prowl forth

One taller than the other doth they stand

Restless in day and awake at night

When they doth hide from everyone’s eyes

They venture deep into the darkness hidden from plain sight

This tale is not on what they received in the end

But more on why they venture in the night

What made them welcome the sight of

 The listless and darkest sight

One feared almost nothing

The other wished only for adventure

They both sought to learn the other’s powers

Whilst they dived into this venture

“Why my friend, doth thee wish this perilous path?”

“When thou can pick the one other?”

But no reply did he get from his friend the dwarf

But now ‘nuff is said about each brother

“Brothers they were”, did I say that?

Oh, yes they were, but not of blood

Despite that they were connected

By the perilous path they proudly tred

Years have passed now we venture through time

It waits for none and changes everyone

The dwarf was now dipping into women

Whilst the giant cared only for none

They had grown undone and apart

But care each for the other, still did they

The distance between them had grown

So that even meeting the other could not blow that away

In silence they sat waiting for a spark

To reignite the flame that was lost

It sounds like love and yes it is so

As these brethren had grown apart

They slowly dragged around with their feet

They ventured into lands that were so new

Something magnetic drew them the way

As none of them, where they went they knew

It was darkness and they knew now

What they had lost was back anew

They stood now again in silence

But now they were akin I knew

The spoils of their war lay before them

What they had conquered under their noses

 Of everyone they knew, now the giant spoke-

“Now that we’re back, lets rejoin forces”

The dwarf did nothing but smile

As silent as the night but all the bright

They venture alone again

Into the night in all their might

So one last time before many yet to come

They set out wandering as they did before

Not a soul would ever know of this

Them my friend you can never abhor

The flame was finally ignited

The old were again united

This is just the beginning not the end

Thus adding one more tale to the story of friends
