Twin Thesis

by Weavers of Dreams

Lunar Observant

Forgive my absence dear children I pray,

There is no word of repentance I can say,

But know that I shall always do my best,

And shall stay and defend each filly and colt,

Who under my gaze shall in peace will lay,

Nightmares and horrors will fade away,

Underneath my jeweled lights of the night sky.

Behold and know no terror in my darkness,

Let no fear befall you through my night,

Rest below and sleep for I shall no longer mind.

Above my children as I delight like motherliness,

To the foal at home and the soldier far away,

Be courageous above all and remember,

This night is ruled by me and I shall stay.

With the harshness of the sun's light departed,

See now my brilliant jewels now take her stead,

Know my kindness as I watch over you,

Dearest children below in whom I find delight,

Keep the peace and comfort each other,

My benevolence is what I hold true,

Justice and virtue shall be my banner.

To my warriors in a foreign land,

Together With your families each night you shall stand,

And your foes will never know a moment sleep,

Their weariness shall bring them sorrow,

And in unity against them shall we obtain a brilliant morrow.

With flags waving and shouts of joy you shall spread peace,

For it is from your great sacrifice we may pay our lease.

Oh woe to you kings and queens of foreign lands,

Stand aside or perish before the sister of an iron crown,

Frozen steps of polished stone will crumble,

As I reign holy flames down from the sky,

Great stones of the heavens from her starry gown.

And from your ruins shall rise Equestria's standard,

Now our land shall reign supreme and humble.

May both peace and harmony reign,

Over each new kingdom we build and rebuild,

Through our work and the strong willed,

Now shall my moon eclipse a land of holy deign,

And no more shall your precious foals fear the night,

for once we were enemies against one another,

but now in each little hoof and face shall I find delight.

Raise your voices now all you who love and seek peace forever,

Raise now your heads in pride and honor,

All allies and foreign friends rejoice with us,

As we welcome home our sons and daughters,

May their stories be forever told,

And may they have many grandchildren in their ages old,

And may peace forever reign and harmony remain.

Author's Note:

Luna song of repentance, hope and joy.

While reading this I had a sneaky suspicion that I should find some music to go along with it. This went along perfectly and the story seemed to have followed the tempo nicely. I had a feeling, while reading this, that this is one of those great speeches a general speaks to his legions after a great battle has been won. The rain will wash away the remnants of the battlefield of yesterday as we celebrate the harmony and peace, for we have finally found home. It was beautifully and elegantly written and your style is very prominent, which I really like. It is nice to see that an author has his/her own voice, because without, we're nothing more than parrots simply mimicking the words and ideas we overheard without any substances to back it up. Yours is certainly the opposite and I do wish you excel because these two poems have truly shown me that you have a great talent. Keep it up
