A Legend May Be Born by ~amanounmei:iconamanounmei:





Only when a heart is pure,
only when light fights the dark,
only when you raise a sword,
only then a legend may be born.

Listen to the rhythm of soul,
listen to the lute so sweet,
when you dance with all those tunes,
only then a legend may be born.

When the gods will touch the ground,
whan a prophet sings his song,
when a city's ground to dust,
only then a legend may be born.

When blood is on sword and hands,
when a hero falls in fight,
when a maiden sheds a tear,
only then a legend may be born.

When a pendant's crashed in two,
when the twins are locked alone,
when the guarding dragon flies,
only then a legend may be born.

When the sword comes out the stone,
when the dust from crown is wiped,
when the heir can take the throne,
only then a legend may be born.



You drink your last cup of ale,
horse is saddled, armour gleams,
only when you ride to fall,
only then a legend may be born.

Only when a head falls down
and you make the sun shine red,
only when you're last to stand,
only then a legend may be born.

Only when the pendant is
put together by your hand,
only when the twins are bound,
only then a legend may be born.

You drink your next cup of ale,
telling things that you have seen,
only when your tale is done,
only then a legend may be born.

Only when a quill and ink
touch the parchment of a page,
only when they write your tale,
only then a legend may be born...

Author's Comments

I wanted to write something like this for a long time - something that would describe how legends are born, how stories of great knights, dragons and such come to life. But I just couldn't find good words for it (believe me, Kwiato - it's sometimes harder than it seems). And, recently, I found it! Eureka! When lying in bed and listening to.. Blind Guardian's "A Dark Passage" - more accurately, to the line "a dark tale ends". NO idea why then and there, but I just put everything away, turned the lamp on and wrote. And here you have what I made up...

As you see, it is split into two parts. First six verses are just a poetic description of some feelings, some methaphorical events and senses. The next five are a narrative story of a knight... Of a hero.

When sewing a garment using thread coarse
To create a gown of some beautiful art
You might find that without a primary source
One tug on the thread, and it all falls apart.

Wlasnie. Tylko wtedy, gdy swoje marzenia odwazysz sie urzeczywistnic, kiedy sen stanie sie jawa , wtedy mozna stac sie legenda . Sa przeciez tacy co sie pusza i przechwalaja 'a, ja to bym dopiero ... ' Ale jakos tak tylko gadaja i gadaja ... A ci skromni, co zdaja sie siedziec cicho, jak mysz pod miotla, oni, zachodza do celu, ktory sobie wyznaczyli. A tamci, stoja w miejscu i gnusnieja ...

Piekny poem :)

Nothing is eternal ...
That 's why
I WRITE , I DRAW
In order to leave
The 'TRACES' of me
In this World ...
... just for a while ...
