2. First Song of Fayard

The First Song of Fayard

I put my foot down
The sand is warm under my skin.
Feathered wings whisperewind,
And I can see through the light.

Runes across the beach
By my hand were made.
Shells crack and scream
As I dance across their bridges.
Once more I sing of
The riveting decadence it holds.

Mint, like leaves scattered
Across my sweating palms.
And then the hot breath of the dust,
And I can hear through the silence.

Sunlight patterns the floor
Of the dancing leaves above.
In the canopy the birds sing
As I whistle them the words.
Once more they fall to earth
In their final songs of despair.

I put my hand against
And the ice breaks in my blood.
The blood of a man I do not know
And I can feel through the night.

Um, I don't know…I've been in a small poetry mood since I wrote Rheas' song The Rose…I'm not a poet but hey. But pay attention to these as the story goes on, and watch how Fayard's whole perspective changes as he goes through the story. Yeah, they have a purpose! Ha! I'll go finish chapter two, er three, now…
