THE SENSHI OF SORROWS
by Amyfan

Star of the dark night,
Loneliest of senshi,
The lady of sorrows
Guards the Door of Time.

In this lonely place she's seen
The dreadful march of history:
Of crimes beyond imagining
And lessons never learned...

In her eyes reflected,
Are every orphan's sadness,
Every widow's grief,
And every victim's agony;

But even so
Her heart recalls
A love lost
long ago...

And in this memory, she sees
A microcosmic parallel:
Of every heartbreak everywhere,
And every person's loss.

And that is why she stands this watch,
As no one else could stand it;
And that is why she cries alone
Before the Door of Time.
