Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not the fanfic that inspired the poem, not Naruto (wish I did) and certainly not the idea behind anything. I merely have the strange ability to write poetry five times per year when I really want to.
Without turquoise, without gold
Is how this story must now unfold
Without him, things cannot change
The future will now be most strange
Without him, gone are the chances
Of friendships, memories, and romances
All that was gone the day he died
Though both time and fate he defied
He didn't know that his dream had come true
He never ruled his village, if only he knew
So much would have happened, had he lived
Questions left unanswered, so much to give
Without turquoise, without gold
Is how this story must now unfold
Never did he live to see the change he could have wrought
For with his life, a country's peace had been bought
