On the shore of forever's time, the ocean's breath beats
Anticipation of the unknown, an ancient question to complete
The transformation of man, on the wake of All does ride
The stirring white caps rise, on the waves of endless tide
From the depths of the sea, they lay in their calm
Complacency now settled, in their darkness too long
To grow into change, they give up their right
They drown in their depths and give up their flight
From the heights above, this ocean that's vast
The wind has changed, a new direction is cast
From higher still, a bright light does fall
The ocean's depth illumined, must heed to it's call
From darkness to light and cast to the shore
Broken free from the whole and sleeping no more
Aware to the truth, of that where he's been
Now knowing he's separate from his ocean of kin
The Sea called out loud, it's tides changed their course
To pull him back under and take him by force
"Dream the deep dream and sleep the dark sleep,
You're no more than I and I will you keep."
The crystal shore gleamed as he took to his flight
Away from the Sea and it's dark empty might
On through time's sand, he struggled to run
Up to the high cliffs, at the base of the sun
Still the Sea called out “Why break from the past.
We are alike, from the same mold are we cast.
Closer now to the steep cliffs, he remained on his course
“There must be something better. I'll be free and never yours."
Up the shining sands, in the distance he sees
Two objects standing, seen in the sun's gleam
Side by side standing and yet out of reach
Still farther up the shore, strangely beckoned by each
The Sea bellowed once more," You cannot escape me.
I am a part of you and with me you'll be.
There's nothing more in all of time, nothing more than I
My Darkness can't be touched by the Light from the sky.”
At the base of the cliffs, from the sea he rejected
He halted in amazement, as he found his objective
One was a great staff to aid a path protected
The other was a sword, with a power that projected
The sword was adorned with sultry lavish jewels
Of black and orange and deep crimson red
Thrust into the earth, it looked like a cross
It's legions uncountable, once alive now all lost
A tool of power to shape and mold men
To the bearers stern will, a slayer of kin
Inscribed on it's crossed guard, by these two words it’s known
Righteousness and militant are the strengths that it's shown
By the side of the sword stood a staff straight and long
To aid in the path, the sage spiritually strong
It's gems green, blue and purple and topped at it's crown
Is a bright shinning clear crystal, it's light heaven bound
Inscribed on the staff is the symbol of life
The Great Spirit's name and the triangle of light
The circle, the cross and the leaf it does bare
The strength it contains is the love and the care
As he stood there gazing at the opposite two
A voice from the past called, a voice that he knew
“You cannot escape me, you're mine and your bound.
You shall be as always, in my darkness you'll drown."
“Through time I have held you deep in my depths
As now through forever, you'll always be kept
Just as all the others, I have you in my grip
Through my net of deception, none of you will slip”
“I keep you blind and sorted, turned against one another
You small insignificant one, in my body with all others”
His taunting went on and finally struck to the soul
And turned the one rising away from the high goal
“You shall never have me, I'd teach you if I could
By the might of my strength, I'll force you to be good
I'll be the master and not be your slave
I'll turn you by might, away from your dark ways."
Blinded by rage, forgetful of the sage
And the staff that he carries and the light of it's way
Pulling the Great Sword up from the crystal sand
Feeling it's powerful ray as he held it in his hand
It filled him with might and a strength of ten fold
An invincible feeling that heated his soul.
Fierce lighting lit the sky as the thunder rolled loud
He looked to the sword and it made him feel proud
With a power in his anger to put an end to the Sea
To be clear of it's cold depths, at last to be free
The blade of the Great Sword, grew bright at this thought
He looked at the Sea and the wrath it had brought
By the power of the righteous and this sword in my hand
I’ll silence you forever, you're voice from this land”
He clutched the Great Sword as he ran for the Sea
Down the crystal shore to fill his blind need
He entered the dark ocean with rage in his heart
Slashing at the great waves, the battle did start
Time seemed to stop as the fighting raged on
The might of one soul against an ocean so strong
To change the Great Sea, it's depths cold and dark
One person cannot alter the tides from their start
The Sea then swallowed the seeker and the sword
It's rightful prize claimed, with laughter it roared
The raging waters calmed and battled no more
As the Great Sword reappeared on the bright crystal shore
