Contemplations
This is another original and narrative-driven variation on the sonnet format, similar to Wedding of the Damned. This is the Vocal version, which corrects some meter issues discovered in the dA version upon import. Contemplations examines a choice that must be made in a “Chosen One” story structure, where the protagonist is torn between warring ideals. What might they think as they make such a choice?
Until that day I never knew
Behind his eyes there hid a lie
Below the surface shining through
Beneath the turquoise ice and blue
Onto the pages of the sky
.
Beyond our faults it lies in wait
Beside our guilt and pride and greed
Against our wills we take the bait
For here all that we see is hate
Inside our spirits it shall breed
.
Along the line my soul must stride
Between the darkness and the day
Until it may come to decide
For which of them that it shall ride
While keeping my own pain at bay
.
On one side there stands my brother
Without whose steady hand I’ll fall
On the other stands the Mother
Make the choice: one or the other
Regarding my life overall
.
Beside the Mother I stand tall.
