June 20, 2004: poem: Stars above Norrath
The stars above Norrath,
are far far away,
at least,
those that have tried to teleport there,
have not arrived back here.
We bold five,
have stormed castles,
and braved the sand giants,
traveling by foot,
sometimes aboard a sailing ship.
To lands we go,
to lands we went,
but they are no longer here,
to travel with me.
Could they be on Luclin ?
I have travelled there,
and found them not,
but The Bazaar has many peoples in it,
I could have missed them,
on that far shore.
I looked for them in Qeynos,
they were not in Butcherblock,
even in the dimness,
under the trees in Faydark.
I have been unable to find them anywhere.
The stars shine down on the lands,
and the oceans,
and the people there.
But my friends are gone.
I hope they are well,
they are my friends,
but alas, I think they are no more.
