Of the Beyond

I’ve heard countless stories,

Countless tales of the beyond.

They speak of adventure, of life,

Things which I can hardly dream

Battles crawling with thousands,

Armies marching in perfect unison,

The sound of cannon fire,

And the army drums beating

Ships setting sail across the ocean,

With pirates waiting in all 7 seas

Ready to swoop down silently,

And plunder poor sailors, unassuming

Tales of a beautiful woman,

That which there is no compare.

Flowing hair like a river,

And eyes as deep as the ocean

Stories they may all be,

But I must think them true.

For if I choose to deny them,

What joy will that ever bring?
