Description
ReforgingThis broken blade attached to the hilt of Good Intentions is a heavy burden
Upon the blackened blade is the inscription that can still be made out
Etched in hearts blood red lettering from all languages past, present and future
The words Love’s Price still turn all seen through it’s light crimson
The World seems to be bleeding along with you
Take time to build your forge fire carefully
Use passion’s fury and anger’s flame to kindle the fire
Slowly toss in pride, dignity, and pain’s tears one by one
Feed this inferno with every mask till none remain
The World seems to be burning along with you
Place the wounded blade into the flame’s fury with confidence
Slowly watching the metal change from black, shifting through all colors
It finally glows pure white, shining outwards to all as a beacon.
Grasping the hilt with tongs, for even Good Intentions will burn you at this intensity
Place the incandescent blade upon the anvil inscribed with your hopes and dreams
The hammer labeled Discipline falls as Doom only can, each blow thundering
Take time to place each blow with Precision and Timing, make each one count
Beat the metal back into shape, as sweat, blood, and tears are also made into the blade
Your blade is done; let the metal cool within Reflection Inward
Only to reheat the blade within the Intention added fire until it blazes with Glory
Temper your blade in the water marked with Compassion, as steams bellows forth
Through the fog of inspiration, gaze upon your remade sword
What was marked as a price shall now be marked with Promise
As this blade heals as well as wounds, Loves Price changed to
Loves Promise, Loves Compassion rewritten in the softest shades of heart.

Whoa
I read Samus' piece first like you said. Your pices work well together. I like how his is all about the pain and yours is almost about the time of healing. At least thats the way it worked in my mind.
I love this piece.

ShadowStrider In reply to whitesilkrose101 [2004-07-21 01:51:42 +0000 UTC]
That's what I pictured. What surprised me was that Samus liked it too. Samus is one of my idols I aspire to write like. Again, the credit goes to him, his piece gave me the inspiration for this work.

I think cold and fire hurt equally. The fire burns and the cold numbs, but in the end the results are the same.
