The Plight of Perfection
I caught a glimpse of that sacred land
when I gazed upon the sky
it shimmered like a silver mirror
and there the Heavens lie
It stood there in serenity
The dominion strong and bold
Its people gained their hearts' desire
and drank from goblets gold
Protected by a ceaseless strength
an evil it repelled
and so I tightly shut my eyes
when from above it fell
A single arrow, black and cold
was fitted to a string
and shot away with flawless aim
of fire it did sing
And like a shattered shard of glass
the mighty land crashed down
Darkness spread to mountains high
and it was never found
