Welcome to Poems from the Avatarworld. This thread will use poetic verse to highlight the thoughts and feelings of the various characters from the series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character related to this series.
This is a poem about Hakota as he pursues the Firenation navy in the open sea. There is a storm bringing high tides and heavy rain as Hakota and his men try to keep thier ships afloat. As the storm tries to consume his small vessels; Hakota begins to remember images of a differnent time.
The Sea Of My Destiny:
The waves push against our ships
Like Posiden's mighty hand
Unrelenting in his anger
I hope Posiden understands
We countinue on our journey
In ships made of wood, skin and bone
Each man has resigned himself
We may never see our homes
I look up toward the heavens
Rain is falling from the sky
The raindrops hiding my tears
Building inside of my eyes
Concentrating on survival
None of us wanting to die
As I shout my orders
Reflecting where my heart lies
I held my wife was in my arms
Both our children by our side
The sunset on the ocean
Under frozen southern skies
Feeling the touch of my wife
She would keep me warm all night
Her smile just like the sunrise
I would hunt with morning's light
Her life painfully ended
By the children of the sun
Other women were taken
We know what these demons done
These are not men of honor
Mistreating Earth women too
This act is our defiance
This is all that we could do
If I must die for something
Let me die to set men free
Let me face death with honor
If that is my destiny
The rain and winds continue
On a sea of frozen blue
The sacrifices that I make
My love, I make them for you
Hakota and his men survive the storm, but the memories of his past will flood his heart with sorrow until he is reunited again with his wife in eternity.
