Twelfth part of the [21 Elements] project, inspired by Final Fantasy Type-0 (Reishiki). I'm playing the game!
This poem is dedicated to [John Lorenz M. Beasca], the sword-wielder of the element...
LXXXII
METAL
Triad of the heart
The autumn rusting begins
With sorrow's prologue
Will you need me tomorrow
When everyone looks at you?
Your shield is casted
From ores of friendship
Reinforced with steel
That can withstand time
You strengthen the shield
With constant hardship
Pressured tempering
Worked it a decade
You solder the joints
With liquid hatred
And plated with love
Your shield eternal
You use it with care
To protect the ones
You cherish the most
The one in your heart
You did not mind that
You got hurt sometimes
You are always there
When someone needs you
You give them your all
When you defend them
From dangers of death
You equalize them
You work with your soul
Always on the line
You move with concern
And deep affection
Will I need you tomorrow
When everyone looks at you?
Does a sacrifice
Succeed protection
And does it transcend
The constant events?
Does an offering
Make a difference
When it happens once
In a sole lifetime?
Does it ever pay
The pain so long kept?
Does it ever heal
The displaced conscience?
If it ever is,
If reality
Allows some changes,
Then I dare to do
Some crystals are meant
To shatter and break
For crystal dust shines
Brighter than a gem
There is little time
To return the past
And revenge, rather
Make a memory
If regret hurt me
So bad that I died,
Then regret is mine;
The reason for war
Will you wait for my presence
When everyone waits for you?
Do not wait for him
If you do, prepare:
The crystal will come
On the shield he built
Triad of the heart
The shield chills in the forest
The story awaits
