Here is a request from none other than Wood Dog. He's a really good friend of mine who has helped me recently, and he asked of a poem concerning Kairi. At first I didn't know how to approach this, but I think I did a good job. Let me know everyone!
Also, if you're a Monster Hunter fan, then I IMPLORE that you check out Wood Dog's story. Really good stuff.
Purpose
(thinking of you wherever you are)
The darkness came,
And it took away my home
Only to throw me into a place
Where I could live forever.
Like I was meant to be here
For some greater reason
That I didn't know
Or, perhaps ...
I didn't want to know.
Let the future me a mystery,
And live life in the moment.
Right Riku?
Right Sora?
(we pray for our sorrows to end)
I walk on the sand,
Hand in hand with my friends
To explore new places
Or at least hope to.
My mind has forgotten about my original home
Because all I know now are the Islands.
And all my friends
And family
Are with me ...
I'm happy.
Today, I took the time
To go to the secret spot
And just stare at the drawings
Especially of me and Sora
Me, him and Riku plan to leave soon ...
(and hope that our hearts will blend)
I've forgotten something.
I've forgotten someone
Important to me
And I feel sad,
Empty.
But I feel the pieces lining up
Mine and his
Like shattered glass reforming,
My memories chain back together
And I can feel his touch
His smile
His warmth
His name ...
Sora
(now I will step forward to realize this wish)
I have left the Islands
In search for my friends
I remember everything.
No longer will I stand on the sidelines.
No longer will I be a damsel in distress.
No longer.
I am going to fight.
I am going to grow.
I am going to bring them back
And set balance to all things.
But ...
I've been taken again.
Why?
(and who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard)
Do you know what it is to be whole?
To feel your heart fill a void?
I found my other half,
The other essence of my being.
And now, now I will fight.
I will break the chains that bound me,
Because Riku has given me the Key
To unlock what was hidden in me ...
My true power.
My true love.
My true feelings.
And with these, I will help
And be strong.
(or maybe it has already begun)
I fight the darkness now,
Their claws sharp,
Their teeth sharper,
And I break through them
With my will and perseverance.
I am with my friends once more,
Never to be forgotten again,
Never to be left behind again.
The worlds need us,
And I plan to be there for it all.
"Kairi!"
" ... Sora!"
And I feel his touch,
See his smile,
His warmth,
And his name swirls within me.
(there are many worlds, and they share the same sky)
The door closed with them behind,
And I felt the sand under my feet again.
And once again I wait,
And this time, it feels
Like an eternity.
The sun goes through the sky,
And my heart thinks of the letter
Written to the boy I loved,
But couldn't think of his name.
Oh, I know the name now,
And the love is stronger,
Just like me.
I wait, but no more.
(one sky)
I take his hand,
And I pull him up.
I let the embrace last forever.
That touch,
That smile,
That warmth ...
That name.
"Sora."
"Kairi."
And I'm home again ...
And my love flows free.
(one destiny)
May the Love of Anuwëy guide you when all Hope is lost
