Message: <blockquote data-quote="Draco Paladin" data-source="post: 1037323" data-attributes="member: 3136">I've been a lurker here for months, but things like these shake me out of my silence.I wrote this thing a while back. I was thinking of making a journey-poem from Taladas taught by the witches of the mystery cult of Mislaxa, who is better known in Ansalon as the Blue Lady Mishakal.It's a pantoum, with certain lines from each stanzas, making it into the next. The last stanza loops back into the first, so it's a continuous hymn to the Goddess, and theoretically, you can keep reciting the prayer continuously throughout a journey, and end it when you've reached safety and home.I hope it cheers you up somewhat, and aids your difficult journey. You have my deepest sympathies. And I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.*****I will not be afraid of the night all around me,for you are my light and I know you are near.I will not be afraid when my foes all surround me,for you are my strength and my freedom from fear.For you are my light and I know you are near,this one thing I ask, and this one thing I pray—for you are my strength and my freedom from fear—To gaze at your loveliness all of my daysThis one thing I ask, and this one thing I pray,I ask nothing else, nothing less, nothing moreThan to gaze at your loveliness all of my days,and dwell in your home, there to stay evermore.I ask nothing else, nothing less, nothing more,Your faithfulness fills and refreshes my soul,I will dwell in your home, there to stay evermore,Your mercy brings peace, and your love makes me whole. Your faithfulness fills and refreshes my soul,I will not be afraid of the night all around me,Your mercy brings peace, and your love makes me whole I will not be afraid when my foes all surround me.</blockquote>
