The Way of the Seeker

Three Deaths

The old man, weak from standing bent
Faces great’r trial than any yet sent,
For without Gods, without the flame
Of truth to guide, a man o’any name
Doth three times die.
Speech, rendered slowly, which field needs sow?
The death of the mind creeps unseen, slow.
Long moments lost in the mists of thought,
Mead taken twice, meals taken naught,
A’bed he doth lie.
Dress’d in shadow, cloak’d in death’s scent
Man passes to corpse, no more time lent.
Life’s beat ends, foul, bed-rid, bed-lame.
Rest ye sir, we lament o’re your name,
His sons doth cry.
Grief, lamentations, son’s sorrow,
In the past left, left for the crow
Life beats ever on; in it all men are caught.
Against this third death all men have fought;
His soul doth fly.
Thrice dead, each man, upon leaving Krynn,
Thrice dead, thrice lost, thrice the sin,
But with new Gods, in hearts and mind,
Seekers of New Gods, in truth ye find,
With hope doth lie.
