//------------------------------// // Sonnet 2 // Story: The Sisters' Coronet // by Fable Scroll //------------------------------// Two regal sisters rein in heaven's flight To keep the sun and moon on proper course. They give to tide and seasons even source And spread the brilliant tapestry of night. Yet gods will lend an ear to mortal plight To soothe all pains with care and heal remorse. Both guide their subjects with a subtle force And guard their peace against old chaos' might. Why ruling gods would suffer crippling blows To shelter all their mortal subjects' hearts, Can never be expressed on mortal ground. The might they bring to bear upon their foes Does grow from love and care in equal parts As sisters are in chains of fealty bound.
