Link007: This poem was originally inspired by the Zelda games, but then I expanded it so that it could apply to more worldly matters, anyway... enjoy. R&R.

Disclaimer: Don't own Zelda, never will, I'm over it.

P.S.: Sorry 'bout the lines, couldn't get the spacer to separate the stanzas accordingly, I'll try to fix it and get back to you with a better version.

P.S.-2: Okay, finally figured out how to fix it. Enjoy.


Reliance

Out of the Ages the Hero shall come To beat back the Darkness plaguing us all.
The Darkness shall send shadows to halt the Hero's Quest,
Yet the Hero moves on, shining light on the poor shadows.
The Hero slices, and dices, and thrashes the Darkness!
The Darkness recedes, but only for Now.
A time later in Time It shall rise up again,
At that time the Hero shan't come.

After many lifetimes of peace, the Darkness is re-birthed.
We wait for the Hero.
We pray for the Hero.
We search for the Hero.
Yet the Hero never comes.
The Hero shall never come again.
And forever shall that stay…
The first Hero shan't come, but a new one does arise

A new Hero comes and beats back the Darkness.
Freeing us once more from It's cold clutches.
And then there is peace, but only for Now.
For the Darkness lives on, and It always shall

The Darkness comes once more after the second Hero fades.
Still a third Hero comes and slays the Darkness.
And this cycle continues for many eons of Time.
Both the Hero and Darkness taking many different forms:
Males, Females, Lions, Wolves, Humans, Fish, Birds, and all other shapes and sizes of the Universe.
They battle in all ways:
On the Battlefield, in the Courtroom, in the Ocean, in the Sky, and all other places known and unknown

Finally a time comes when the Darkness prevails.
It defeats the Hero and spreads through the world.
Shall the Darkness rule all? or will it be defeated once more?
If we all stand together and oppose the Darkness,
We shall send it away for many more eons than the Heroes ever did.
For a single being fought It those countless times, but this time we all shall fight back.
And we shall win,
For united we stand


Link007: Okay, tell me if you like it. Also tell me if you think its Zelda enough or if I should just take it to the original works part of the site. Thanks!
