//------------------------------// // Shining Armor the Mountain // Story: The Spike Poem Anthology // by Zephyr Spark //------------------------------// If Twilight is my solid ground, then you are my mountain You stand tall and strong, model everything I must be. With your shield, you protect the ground from any vengeful clouds And the crimson bolts of spark you swat away from us earthlings. You stand atop the earth and aspire her to new heights You the diamond spire stand constant and comfort earth in woe. You bear the brunt of the rain, the brunt of hardship, the brunt of the pain And trickle sweet nectar to her forests and help her grow. I could never stand as tall as you, but for the earth I will try To protect her as you have, and bear your shield with pride.
