Tower of Shadows

by Oceans Horizon

A poem about Satella awaiting her freedom... one way or another. This is more for me to figure out how to publish and format stories. Read if you like

Ever she waits 'neath the tower of shadows
Ever she sleeps in the gloom
Though she cannot die, she waits for the time
That she can be free of her tomb

A soul that is black as the darkest of nights
A soul that is white as the snow
A soul that has come from a far away land
All fated to meet here below.

There is a plague in the tower of shadows
A sickness of want and despair
A sickness for which many thousands have died
A sickness with only one cure

A girl that is broken and dying inside
A girl that must wait for her liege
A boy that it seems is never to come
To free them from times endless siege

Soon they will come to the tower of shadows
Soon they will all come to see
Soon they will cure this plague that afflicts her
Soon she will find herself free

Ever she waits 'neath the tower of shadows
Wishing her knight all the best
For one day he'll come, and when it is done
She knows that she'll finally rest.
