Storms (a Stormlight Archive fan poem)


Swimmingly

Recommended Posts

There's a building chill in the air.

High in the sky to the far away place

Where the wind goes to sleep every year

On the edge of the void, the brink of despair,

Where the Heralds might sleep with their Blades held bare.

There's a pattern to the buffeting winds,

Bounding like axehounds a-chase of their prey,

Like the chasmfiend striking the stone.

It's in the clatter and scrape of far-off claws,

The Voids that tail the storm.

There's a shadow above our minds.

Looming silence, unseen, above unseen silence looms,

Ten Deaths in the shape of the dark twisting clouds.

The blackstorm we know like an old faithful friend,

Its winds we can bear on our backs.

The everswift tempest that sweeps red and quick,

She kills with the lightning of spren.

Don't anger the god who's anger unleashed,

He'll take you in that storm

Twist your mind dark and red,

Spit you out to do horrid things.

Nothing can save us.

Almighty, nothing can save us.

Let the storms Surge away us

And leave peace in the soft drift of empty seas.

Jee.... You really have nothing to do with your spare time, don't you?

 

All in all, nice poem and lyrics, by there's nothing "special" or particularly memorable in it. 8.9/10, my friend.

 

By the way, you changed your picture (and in quite a strange way, too)! Is that your face photo-shopped onto the (poor) fish?
