Pondering...
by Acean
I wonder what
a bard dreams
when she sleeps?
Of adventures to come,
new stories to write,
or of secrets best to keep?
When her breathing
goes calm
and her movement
grows still
does she ever
have nightmares
filled with
dark fears?
And how can one
fight the monsters
that sometimes invade
their bard's dreams?
But to be there,
to brush a tear,
to merely reassure
that its never as
bad as it seems.
A good warrior
learns quickly
how to fight
and survive
but there are
other lessons
that are harder
to learn
no matter
how long one
manages to
stay alive.
So the bard sleeps
as strategies
are planned
by sleepless
titans with
wandering minds,
nothing out of
the ordinary
happens
all the time.
