Note: Just another Crystal Cave poem. I like the idea of Ambrosius returning to his final 'home' at last… This poem is basically Ambrosius's last thoughts before he dies… I wrote this a while ago…I might revise it..but I think I'll just let it be. I'd love some reviews!
Ambrosius Speaks:
I am a brother and king
Songs of my battles bards now sing
I am a father and a son
I have fought many a battle and there are more to be won
Emrys Ambrosius, the king of light
My son Merlin has the far-reaching sight
His mother I loved with all my heart
But our families and foes made us sadly part
I watch my son with tired eyes
For he has told me that I am soon to die
He does not remember what he has said
But the next time we meet I will be dead
He later swears to crown my tomb in a never-ending light
To honor me and my lengthy fight
I seek to unite a war torn land
I struck down Vortigern with my own hand
My son can see quite far ahead
Of what will be done and what will be said
He foretold my victory one past night
The sky was full of the firedrake's purging light
He can read the great stars in the night sky
He can see when any are to finally die
He even knows his own unavoidable doom
Of being locked away inside a crystal tomb
Vortigern's prophet they call my son
He knows that this battle will finally be at last won
I hear him echoing in my mind
Like his soul is a fixed apart of mine
I know longer feel any fear
Knowing that both my son and my death is now near
For my end is coming soon
I will not live to see the new white moon
He will live to see many kings come and go
How long they will last, he does not yet know
As I lay here dying, he tells me I am finally going home
And that I will never more be alone
The heavens will cast a fire into the sky
To tell their king a final and honorable goodbye
I believe that he will put the fire high up above
To honor me and show his undying love
The king star shall shine bright tonight
When I finally lay down my sword and stop the fight
I start a new journey to a better place
Where the gods and I will finally face
Merlin will protect this land
With his magic and by his own hands.
