The glorious gods in the sky

In the midst of a war of darkness’

A group of islands.

Light in the dark sea

Tainted by night, a corrupted daydream.


The gods felt pity

There might still be hope

A small Land & Sea

Small spots of black flame printed like a ladybug 

That had lost its dainty charm.


Casting a glyph, leaving two personas to the realm.

Yu-me, a graceful hydra, forced to watch the seas

conducting waves,

in a harmony aided by moonlight.


Shin, a formidable dragon

left to fortify the land

Racing against wind.

The sun, struggling to cast a shadow. 


The sun and moon drown the islands 

Illuminating the sea together with sand,

In a dance of glitter and gold under stars

Its at this point when love shines most 


The beauty and brawn 

Locked in a dance of the sea and the coast

Love shines bringing life to their home 

Humans and mermaids lived in harmony with one another .

Children of the sun and moon.


Woefully there can't be light without darkness

Those who lost their light given into the shadows

Hungry for a gleam.

Willing to strip it from others who might have been friends.


Eclipse grew near.

The sun and moon must set in time

Using there gifts from the gods 

Creating a barrier around the island 

Expelling evil forces.


 

As of the faits of heroes end in tragedy 

Spirit however lives with royalty. 

With trust that they will rule just as gracefully 

Spirit of the sun and moon, land and sea. 


The book is closed.

And children wailed with teary eyes

Letting go of their sorrow in sympathy of cries.

But yet the young prince,

Listened with a  catch of light in his eyes.
