This came to me while I was asleep. I had to rise, the words to keep My second "child", you've seen the first. Please be gentle on my attempt at verse.

I dreamed there was an end to war
The Bard and I to fight no more
An end to killing and to hate
We'll begin anew, it's not too late

We bury the chakram, sword and staff
learn to live and learn laugh
On green meadow below blue sky
We find ourselves and not the lie

But I wake before the dawn
And realize we must battle on
For evil lurks both far and near
And attacks what we both hold dear

So we continue on the warrior way
Knowing there will come the day
The bard and I must finally die
Upon a cross we both must lie

But every night when stars do gleam
I dream again the Warrior's dream
And hope that one day when I wake
The dream is real, that road we'll take.
