Feel free to share your own poems that your characters say/sing IC or just one that you wish to share with us OOC, and offer comments and criticism please.

Here's one of mine that Tabitha sings at the World's End Grotto in Zeltiva. Enjoy.

What is it about the wind?
Why does the sea call as it does?
When we go to our beds at night,
Will we dream of where the wind goes?

We squander about our lives,
As the breeze goes about it's day,
Not caring for our strife,
Just going on it's way.

When a sailor tries to brave the sea,
The wind will be there guiding his ship.
To the end of the ocean, 'twill take him,
and back again for a round trip.

Back home they come,
All in glory and fame,
The sailors of today,
Too many to name.

Questionable Universe

Why does the world turn,
Just to face the same way again?
Something that's so big,
Yet still fits inside a picture frame.

Is there just no end,
To the extent of the universe?
Is the slowness of time,
All just a cruel curse?

Before we know it,
The future will be here.
Will we be ready,
When the end is near?

How far away,
Is the brightest star?
Will we ever accept,
That it's just too far?

These are really pretty, Tabs.
They would make nice songs too.

Thank you.

Just saw your signature with that quote and thought how well it fits that second poem.
