Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
22. Minamoto Kouji
It was funny how he had been walking blind
for so long – he'd wondered sometimes if it was the irony of fate
that gave him the Spirits of Light
Because he didn't want to think of it
as a coincidence – that would mean the journal he shared
with his brother…was coincidence too.
He didn't know the odds; he'd thought about it
but somehow it was depressing to think on it too long,
to look too far ahead –
Maybe it was because his life had fallen apart
for the better
that he realised what he'd missed on that earlier road:
his family, his friends, and the warm side of the sun
which takes its force fun on instead of the narrow scope
Of Light.
