MINSTREL'S EPITAPH

* MINSTREL'S EPITAPH *

...

Written Words

Etched in stone, typed in print, or scrawled on paper

They possess some of the strongest magic known to man

Lines transform into symbols, the symbols become letters

The letters produce words

Magic

Words hold within themselves power

The proper combination of words can start or end wars

They can bring a strong man to his knees

Make the weakest child invincible

Words can make you laugh or cry

They can blind you from the truth, or open your eyes

To unlimited possibilities

Words can make you think

They can make you feel

They can make you sing

Or they can make you bleed

Words can be the the source of anguish

Of pain and sorrow

Such intense despair that its depths are unfathomable

Words feed the imagination

Take you places that you have never been

Show you things within your mind

That you could never hope find

Alone

They can make you dream

They can make you love

They can make you believe, or they can make you doubt

Words can spark fires of jealousy

They can illuminate your darkest fears ...

Words are magic ... words are power

More magic, more power

Much more responsibility

Than I know what to do with, or care to weild

Anymore

I lay down my pen, as I hang up my robes

I renounce my abilities

Who and what I have been, I am no longer

I renounce my magic

...

...

No more
