POEM TITLE: Faded memories
POET: eminariiorta

POEM:
I remember a time
when the future was more bleak
than the darkest hours of the Shadow war
when the forces that appeared so dark to us
threatened the survival of my entire race.
Though those we once feared
would be our saviours
at the time
they appeared to be our destroyers.
I was there
on that last day
when the fait of
my world
my people
my being
were held in the hands of the grey.
I was there
alone
when those dressed in grey wanted the truth
the truth they had sort out in our destruction
they discovered through me, was only in our continued existence.
For all these memories
now I know my true destiny
what has been laid down for me for a thousand years
and tonight I must fulfil it.
