The Sisters' Coronet

by Fable Scroll

Sonnet 15

New dawn reveals the paths of steadfast aim
Through fallen walls of ancient nations' keeps.
The crumbling stone holds words of paling fame
And woeful strife eternal mourners weep.

Remembered days leave tracks to future sweep;
Their weathered signs reveal deceiving ways.
The heirs rebuild on ruined glory's heap
To claim what foolish greed had cast astray.

On slippery ground and ancestor's decay
They craft a stronger home to brave the world,
Securely resting on the works of older days
To walk the brighter path the past unfurled.
Reborn on time-worn stones, new kin succeed
And joyously embrace new hope's clear lead.
