The riders trample over shortened grass,
There is a sound of a cat on prowl,
Sitting between two trees, he waits,
Covered in green, his prey waits,
How many are there? Who are they?
The questions linger, but he is not in wonder,
For the bow is held, The arrows wait their fate,
The sound of horses coming closer,
The night is slowly coming through,
He stands in perfect pose,
He can see the first approach,
Let fly he does,
The horses burst,
In unholy speed, in directions away,
Their lies a fallen man, with fallen leaves,
To his death he will bleed,
To earth he shall return,
From the start till the end,
From dust to dust.
The archer stands in contemplation,
He is of unsure mind as to what might be best,
He takes a hit from his bottle with,
Bow in hand, he walks across,
Standing over the one he hit.
The man not dead, but soon to be,
He sees him whisper,
And so he bends lower,
Struggling, but words fall out.
The whisperer says
“My friend, i know not why you have,
“My friend, i know not why you have,
but since you have,
the price of life you will pay,”
The archer smiles,
“Tiss all a game,
Tonight was you,
Tomorrow might be me,
We live for that which passion burns,
I have you and a drink for me,
We could share this over your death,
For i have none of a feeling left,”
“Tiss all a game,
Tonight was you,
Tomorrow might be me,
We live for that which passion burns,
I have you and a drink for me,
We could share this over your death,
For i have none of a feeling left,”
The whisperer says,
“Well, lets be done with it,
Give me your drink,
Let me pass in its peace,”
Give me your drink,
Let me pass in its peace,”
The archer in higher voice says,
“A new world awaits,
I sent you tonight,
And tomorrow you would thank me,
For in its current state,
Our world is falling,
Just as you have fell,
Tomorrow the beauty of a life anew,
Will fill you and kiss you,
You will smile, you will love,
true happiness, my friend, true happiness,
While optimism and hope is all i’ll have,”
Silence ensued, in a peace they drank.
