I am the eyes.
I am the voice.
And I am the sword arm of the gods.

I am the scholar.
I am the crafter.
And I, the defender of my people.

In shadows I pray.
In moonlight I sing.
And I shall dance in the sunlight.

The oak and the thorne
The apple, the rose
The sword, the shield, and the arrow

Green for the Living
Blue for the Otherworld
Red for the blood in my veins

Discerner of secrets
Muse to this vision
Guardian to all I hold dear

*Ember Dumas 2001
