The Book of You
By MoonGlw123

with symbols of remembrance
this book of secrets in my hands
whispering that the end has come
knowing my heart understands

a reality of who you now must be
honor prepared for the fight
bringing peace to a far off place
have they created you a knight?

forged within an unknown furnace
like steel you appeared to me
yet haunted by a voice of thunder
calling you down to the sea

leaving behind only the mysteries
entrusting the keeping to me
to swim the oceans of philosophy
expecting to find the key

to unlock a gate that holds a flood
of the tears that still remain
crashing in waves upon your shore
awash in the joys and pain

that sails the gulf across your mind
like dreams upon the tide
tossing in the storms that rage
the things that will not hide

from a poetry of understanding 
that revealed a truth to me
our ships have passed in the night
sounding a call to the sea
