He writes another word
Scratching a tune on paper
The words sing to the world
A single tear hits the page

The words he writes speak to millions
The lands far away,
The people close to home.
The reader caught between.

A tumult of lightning
To douse the world in white
While he watches through you
And weeps for the perfection no longer his

The maiden and the knight
Safe in the castle once more
As your heart beats faster
He makes your hopes sore

The two together
In bliss resplendent
As he closes the story
And promises another chapter
