Lady Daelynn's Farewell

While I've been wrapping up the details of my life (or lives if you will) in Elanthia today, the beginnings of a poem were created in my mind. Although I'm no bard, but a simple empath, I'd like to share it here as my final farewell. It's not the best thing I have ever written, but it's a simple observation of my life here...

In old days of lore, 
  A young empath was born. 
  Timid, shy and sweet, 
  She had the world at her feet.

Alone at the start, 
  She soon gave her heart 
  To a warrior so proud 
  She met in the crowd.

He taught her to fight, 
  He showed her the light. 
  He stayed by her side 
  When she sought to hide.

Soon everyone knew 
  Of the love so true 
  They shared so much 
  She felt joy at his touch.

She aged in the lands 
  The healing touch in her hands. 
  The gift she'd been given 
  Would never be hidden.

She saw many things 
  That time passing brings. 
  She watched her profession 
  Get lost in depression.

She watched her companions 
  Get lost and abandoned. 
  And hung up her blade 
  For no damage it made.

She grew older in years, 
  And then cried the tears 
  When she lost the sweet man 
  Who was her life in the land.

She became lost in despair 
  Over the ended affair. 
  Her life lost it's meaning 
  No happiness it was bringing.

She decided one day 
  To let the world slip away. 
  Her heart had grown cold 
  Nothing dear left to hold.

She packed up her gear 
  While shedding her tears 
  She knew it was best 
  To go now to her rest.

For those that she left 
  She is truly bereft 
  Of the friends she has had 
  She hopes will not be sad.

In a time far away 
  She may return someday. 
  And will once more begin 
  Her life as the empath Daelynn.

I wish you all well. May the gods keep you happy and safe in the world of Elanthia.

All my love,
Daelynn Graymarke
