A Story Called: Stay Night

A Story Called: Stay Night

A Poem by King Sleepless

Part 1: Birth

 

 

 

A never ending dance

For these partners who lack feet

A waltz as old as time

A family made of three

 

The Father who shines bright

Leads the step, yet never takes the lead

And guides his child through space and time

With the Mother in between

 

The Father loves his child

With heat and rays and beams

And the Mother lights the darkness

While the Father seeks his sleep

 

At some time in the dance

The Child’s heart would roam

And soon its heart found desire

For children of its own

 

 

And so the Child, in mid dance

Sought the attention of the mother and father

I, your little dancer, seek your blessing

To raise my own sons and daughters

 

To the Child the Mother asked

Will your children dance our dance?

If they want they may the Child would say

If they wish to learn, they can

 

But the Father is perplexed

The Mother is also confused

Our dance is in sync with the flow of time

What else is there to do?

 

Oh my beautiful Mother and Father

This may be hard to understand

But I shall not curse them with eternal routine

They shall live instead, by choices and by chance

 

Yet we still may teach them

Our dance will still be key

We three will be a guiding force

As you two have been for me

 

Father let your love be life

In the form of heat and rays and beams

And Mother, reflect my father’s love

So that my children have light even when he sleeps

 

And I shall be flesh

Their blood and their bone

Their birthplace and grave

Their hope and their home

 

The blessing was given

And from her mighty girth

The first children were born

To the mother we call

Earth
