A Thousand Lives

I have lived a thousand lives

In a thousand different skins

I know the blessing of angels

And a demons sin.

A dragon’s flame

And siren’s song

Dwarven halls

And giant strong.

I have roamed mountains high

And oceans deep

I have seen life bloom

And death reap.

Falling Stars

Like a shattered mirror

To bottle a world

It would be the best liquor.

I have commanded nations vast

And fought on battlefields

I know the weight of of crowns

And have held both sword and shield.

Summers kiss

And winter's bite

The brightest days

And darkest nights.

I have felt the cruelest love

Sharper than a knife

It killed me

But gave me life.

The setting sun

Brings waking dreams

The rising moon

It’s silver kiss it seems.

I have seen friends die

Those who have walked beside me

Trusted and loyal

I hated that they had the leave me.

I may have not been there

It is another world

On thousands of pages

In millions of words.

I have known for so long

Maybe even after I have died

This world will never be enough

I will never be satisfied.
