You ever had a moment where suddenly a line of poetry pops into your mind and you can not stop spinning it further until its just right? I have those moments now and then. Usually I get a pretty decent Rhyme together and then just forget about it. Last Sunday I watched “The legend of the Guardians” (don’t ask) just before going to bed (actually while being in bed). And suddenly I had one of those moments. And when I was done I had a pretty strong urge to write it down. So I got up and did. But ever since I didn’t really know what to do with it. And because it kind of speaks to my soul I decided to post it here. Maybe someone else likes it to ;-).

To Arms

To arms we call, to arms and then to war.
Together and united shall we stand.
Cause what we can not find in peace we will find nevermore.
And fight alongside bravely till the end.

In terror and despair this day be burned,
into the memory of those who live.
Let blades be fiercely be dashed until the war is turned.
Be sorry that we only got one life to give.

Through songs be echoed our righteous deed.
Remember all the good that we have done.
Be written down in books and carved in stone to read.
And may one day a legend it become.
