A Song of Saidin   

 

First it was a mighty

tool making Legends great.

The blind could see, the lame could walk, men flew

and walked in other worlds and other times.

But Pride is a rose

with large sharp thorns.

It ripped across worlds

and reshaped our lives.

 

Sing the song of saidin! Weave the harmonies like flows!

            Sing of its iridescent might!

            Sing the song of saidin!

            No Shadow can long withstand the brilliance of the Light! 

 

Then came the loneliness

the coldness, the hardness.

In came the darkness and all was laid waste.

Like mold on a cloth of shining gold thread

the taint rode saidin.

It writhed and it bred

such evil and dread

even darkfriends

quailed.

 

Sing the song of saidin! Weave the harmonies like flows!

            Sing of its iridescent might!

            Sing the song of saidin!

            No Shadow can long withstand the brilliance of the Light! 

 

Now He brings a lightness,

a softness, a oneness

Serene and pristine the song of my heart

Like moonbeams on silver it glows, it shines

Saidin, oh how sweet!

It wipes out the pain!

He lives once again!

And the Dark One

quails.

 

Sing the song of saidin! Weave the harmonies like flows!

            Sing of its iridescent might!

            Sing the song of saidin!

            No Shadow can long withstand the brilliance of the Light!

[Desiree]

hmmm, maybe I can make a tune of this to play on guitar... if I knew more than three notes, LOL

[Desiree]

and of course, Loreina is the winner! ;) Congrats! your song will be hosted in the edition of The Song that will be out hopefully next week ^^

[Loreina]

Thank You! It was fun to do.  :)

[Desiree]

coming from the BT, it was quite an interesting song. I wonder if they'll let me use it for a songfic ^^

[Loreina]

??? Who are they?

What's a songfic?  :)

[Desiree]

BT=Black Tower

 

a songfic is a story accompanied by a song that helps guide it's flow. Here's a link to one of mine. It's I'm With You by Avril Lavigne. One of my best ones, but dark.

[Desiree]

Since we are the Tuatha'an, we are going to have to do what we do best for this year and recycle the '07 Ball threads and use them for the '08 Ball threads.

 

So ignore any of the previous posts and place your submissions here to be judged at the end of the week by Talya and Poledra.

[Loreina]

:-\

I don't have time to write another one, but I can submit this one I wrote for you during your WT visit.

 

The Song of the Wheel

 

Spinning never ending,

Time forever, ever spinning

Weaves the Legends of the Ages

We all know.

 

Some are never-changing,

Woven with the ever-changing,

The Pattern they are forming

Is our Life.

 

 

Thus the Wheel of Time,

Turns in our Mind,

Spinning out the threads

That Weave our Destiny.

We don't know His Plan.

Don't understand,

Living out our lives

As rhythms of His Rhyme.

 

 

Soldiers ever fighting

Great Leaders ever ruling

Endless loves forever twining

Hearts as one.

 

Threads of Life repeating

Faith and Hope often receding

Into Darkness then resurging

Into Light.

 

 

Thus the Wheel of Time

Turns in our Mind

Spinning out the threads

That Weave our Destiny.

We don't know His Plan.

We don't understand,

Living out our lives

As rhythms of His Rhyme.

 

Journey never ending

Time forever, ever spinning

Lives are only minor rhythms of His Rhyme,

Mmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm

  Only rhythms at the mercy of

    His Rhyme.

 

 

[Talya]

Lovely thanks Lor

[Loreina]

This is the tune I wrote for it. *laughs* I'm no musician.

 

[Talya]

I wish I could read music, because i would love to know how the tune went.. :-[

 

[Desiree]

did you find this or write it? *is intruiged*

[Talya]

I believe she wrote it herself...

[Desiree]

*amazedly whispers* wow....

 

I was in band for two years and never could write anything of my own O_o

[Loreina]

I wrote it. I had four years of band. *preens*  :D ;D

[Desiree]

what did you play? I played clarinet for half a year, then alto sax for a yer and a half. I made sure to get out of it as soon as I could, lol. who needs to play if you're perfectly content with writing? :D

[Loreina]

I played the French Horn. Worked my way up to first horn, first chair. But I'd rather sing any day.  :)

[Desiree]

here's a country song I wrote long ago. I pictured Tim McGraw singing it when I wrote it ^^ so Tal, this means you're going to have to judge this one :P

 

There are many different things

In our world that everyone thinks

Are just oh so grand

Yet none will understand

 

Why the parents always call

When their kids leave them all

Until they have their own

That leave them all alone

 

No one understands

About all the worldly demands

Until life hits them fast

Maybe they'll know at last

By then it's too late

To change that mistake

'Cause no one understands

 

Teens are ignorant to a baby's demands

And parents try to lend helping hands

But they just turn them down

They don't want them around

 

A little brother may cry one day

When the older won't let him play

Why? They will never know

Until older they, too, grow

 

No one understands

About all the worldly demands

Until life hits them fast

Maybe they'll know at last

By then it's too late

To change that mistake

Yeah, 'cause no one understands

 

No one knows what they truly had

'Til it's gone and things look bad

No one will like love's first kiss

Until they experience that bliss

 

No one understands

About all the worldly demands

Until life hits them fast

Maybe they'll know at last

By then it's too late

To change that mistake

Yeah, ohhh, 'cause no one understands

[Talya]
