The Sands of Time
I can't seem to speak
My body's a stranger
I can't even whisper
My land's full of danger
Hyrule's now barren
I know not, my own home
No one remembers
I feel alone
The time of pure darkness
Those years of regret
Now menace my future
Now hinder my breath
The minions of evil
They ravage my mind
Tell me what is happening
My fate etched in time
All I seek is answers
To my questions unknown
Is there no savior
For these sins to atone?
My childhood wasted
Lost in time's sand
Never shall a day go by
I wonder, was this planned?
Has destiny controlled me
My life merely a pawn
If I'd done something differently
Would my youth still have been gone?
Step into the sunlight
Or the glow of night's new moon
In this land of wickedness
The sky is but a ruin
As is all the village
The forest, the stars
It makes my thoughts waver
Why are things the way they are?
I heard we follow paths
But are they set in dirt or stone?
And for all the suffering
My skin, my blood and bone
Answer me eternally
Let my misery commence
I know I've made a difference
Assure me, tell me hence
The water's turned to bloodshed
The rain to cries for help
The light has turned to darkness
For my life, I cannot tell...
For love has turned to hatred
And as I dare look back
The doorway's locked behind me
Before me, utter black
I cannot know the future
The present is unsure
My past is only bitterness
My soul was left unpure
Only by understanding
My lost lifetime, my lost years
Will ever salvage Hyrule
Will ever cease my tears
This took way longer then my other poems, and I really tried to convey Link's feelings and most of all his wonder at the changes surrounding him. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
