A Better Day

by the bard, Wyrm-Wood

A snout breaches the basket.
The waters of life rock the raft side to side-

Harshly tossing me aside.

 

Cast out from the lands I know.
A fox finding out where to go.
I have leagues left to float.

Whilst I wait here,

dreaming.
Waiting,
For the fears of yesterday to fade.

 

Let me shake my troubles!
Let me rid myself of tears!
Shall I cast away the fears of yesterday,
in hope for another day?

 

Fire within my red.
Fur upon my head.
I am more than my pelt.
Just a fox finding out where to go.
God I have leagues left to float!

 

Another day, 
Another dawn!
The dawn is coming!
Yes it's coming!
And I shall cast away my fears of yesterday,
In hope of a better day.

[Frostdrop1 1843]

And in what was left behind, a family grieved and questioned. They argued to stay together, to find solace in the wound dealt to each and to heal the ache of it together. However, some things were drove too deep. The blackened stain on Reinhard, the fears which lingered, left a piece carved out by the end. Fears and anxieties that had existed before the boy had been born, left to fester in some hope they would not arise, were now realised monsters. A burden is what he was, and he knew it. He had always known it, for it was made clear by so, so many. At least that night, when the two elder devils had retired, they could still laugh when the tears had ended; they loved each other for their burdensome parts, too.

And by the time Asahiko was asleep, Reinhard was left in a wakeful unease to wonder if he could have done anything different. And then, he wondered, if Nickolai was awake, too.
