∴ time leaps
over sleeping frogs—
spring’s hoppy hour ∴1

∴ the adept stands firm
eyes aglow with resolve
midst legends
from diverse schools
like tafl pieces poised
in each move
clash
battle sweat drips
a testament to relentless drive
upon this board
in constant flux
yet amid tumult, a revelation:
the pivotal strategy
to reconcile from within
confront oneself, undeterred ∴1
∴ she moves gracefully
with stars in her hands
a bearer of ancestral wisdom
painting paths in desert sands
teaching in a language
understood by few
beneath the starry canopy
she tends flames
gifted by crow1, banishing shadows
feeding both body and soul with her stories
in the presence of elf glory
day draws near, and i am reborn ∴2
∴ forged in trials
emerging from flame
fierce as the current
the ring giver appears
silent, solemn
bestowing five bands of ethereal metal
each a life’s oath
a weighted boon
blessed and cursed
winding around her essence
no simple feat to accept
to fathom their meaning
it would take all her days ∴1
