Chalice is an entry from a collection of poetry I produced called "Smoke and the Withered Ground" Art is done by Nate Hillyer of Wyrdica

Chalice:

Pounds of flesh, oaken grain

Fill the chalice and live again

Cleansed of life hope again

Man of war is to be slain

In the path of life we reap and sow

Watch the sun live and die filled with woe

The light of eyes that once were mine

And beneath the earth is where your lain

Pounds of flesh in oaken grain

Fill the chalice and live again
