‘Better to be a dog in a time of tranquility, than a human in a time of chaos…’
- Bard of Prydain

And either named or not, even that name is but an echo of that which was.
Such that those things you valued while alive are trifling things.
Only your truth lives on.’

[Hephaistos crafts Achilles’ shield]
Mine is the eloquence of the wave, wind and fire.
I sing in true metre - songs of prophecy, lore and satire.
A bard with the mind of a mage.
Three times captive in a starry cage.
And at midnight’s stony breech,
When *I* recite, my store of *awen* is sweet.

‘Suppose I’m back,’
— Aneran
Words leapt forth
from petals' fall,
to a breathless heart
that claimed them all
"Love me," or "Not,"
each whisper sought,
word by word,
a deathless thought
Falling like tears,
or rain set free,
yet still my soul,
though bound, won’t quit—
I love you far
beyond my wit
~ 𝓩𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓫
