Poem: Dawn

Dawn
By: Abbey Rutter


Amidst the morning mist I rode,
Down aged roads of cobbled stones.
As daylight breaks, the stars away,
I face this dawn alone.

I take this journey far beyond,
The shadows of my sword withdrawn,
This darkness takes, but I must save
My faster pace to carry on.

I take with me this parchment guide,
A scroll to map the darker side.
For here are towns, and there are grounds,
Wherein my tragic fate might find.

Onward, wooded path to take,
I leave a mystery in its wake.
They who follow, their folly know
By consequence of my mistake.

My journey ne'er appears for naught
This course not for a cause forgot
And I had not set out with doubts
For myself and I, alone, have fought.
