Autumn bringer, summer slayer

Radiant and striking, attention attractor from the day of his birth.

Thoughtful, a composed boy, and an admirable man

Earthy, in tune with spirit and his old blood, family name

Mindful and diligent, born leader, community pillar

Insightful, deft of mind and hand

Saintly, in the commoner's eyes.


Fierce hunter of the fen line, beloved, like his father

Empathetic and tearful, too knowing, like his mother

Nimble and fleet.

Secure, in legends, but dislodged in self perception

Praiseworthy, they all chant, murderer in a hard place, he chants

Effective in this place though, maybe that makes it better

Autumn snuffer, summer murderer, dragon ruiner

Radiant, but fading quick.
