the paper guardian

In the shayed the subtle sword lies

the wrath of that our lord

born of that and flaming bird from the shadow he first was heard

he lives his life within the page brought to live by the artist sage

for in his hand the soul his sword

within the sword the flames of a spirit unkempt

from the phoenix those flames were rent

do not try his patients still

for flames do burn and the sword will ****

he guards the paper of a dreams light touch

be careful my friend that you don’t touch to much

for in the attempt to **** this dream

the Shayed will strike his sword will gleam

and if you take what is not yours

the shadows will drag you back to the Shayed

and justice there you will await until once more you’ll see the gate

you know the place where you will go if demons seed is what you sow.

But of the Shayed he’s gentle of soul just a part, of a better whole

he is a creature living

still a spirit of sorts and yet with skill, of the phoenix

this is true yet a part of me and some of you

the things we see perhaps unclear you know what I speak my brother dear

within the pages our guardian told the Shayed of now and the angels of old,

I see this spirit I speak his word I tell yee now of what I’ve heard.

He tells of times as yet to last

the times he’ll guard when we’ve all past

in his heart he wishes it not

but he will guard the secrets sought

he is a herald of yet to be

this the spirit from you and me.
