Stay for This

Must I stay?

Miles would be high

steps, an infinite

sweat would be tears

hands could do the work

Smelt this iron!

Forget this chance!

Hammer to the ends!

Sow for an eternity...

To stay...

Would be the final test

To end short,

would bring much shame

These trials would be of no use

So, why blaze?

Why forge?

Why hike?

Why travel to distant lands?

to only then meet thy guid?

Why must this be

from beginning

and toil

of this soul..? 1E
