Starlight

Shining above, From peak to valley, A hope does glisten– Hark, and listen. For she is of stars And I of moon And for that, her love, Makes of me a loon. Silent– ever wander the night. With eyes uplifted, The stars cure all fright Calling from afar– a shining light. Cast open my mind, And bare wide my soul, From the earth I unbind, Into the sky– from Earth, so low. Flying, one with life, Should world’s end come, Stars’ music I’ll hum– That peace may overcome strife. Living in stars– Alone, nay Together; singing heavenly tunes. One with stars and moons, I sing forever, come wha

Elegy of a Soldier

The yawning maelstrom, A deadly storm, They face their doom, As in the abyss it takes form. The clamoring din of battle, A dull and muted roar. The men stand proud, Ahead of them lays glory evermore. Turning back to face his men, He called in a commanding voice, "Once more to enter the breach, my friends, For death or glory, it is our only choice." And fast stood the men, Their weapons ready and drawn, They sat there preparing, For an attack with the dawn. In the cool, gray dawn, While fog lay about, The men fought their worst fight, The battle with doubt. "How will I survive, What glory could I win? I have not the coura

Masquerade

A masquerade This life we live. A mask I wear What cruel charade. To lock inside The one true self. Eternal chains do bind and hide. So deep within We seal our souls. We bring to bear Life's greatest sin. We hide ourselves Within a form So horrid none Would deeper delve The key we hold Is bent, to ne'er Unlock the gates Of tales so old. No more to sing, The bard's song ends. A hope is kept From taking wing. As hope is lost So, too, the soul. Just masks we are More cold than frost. As one with this Our lives now are But soft! I hear A whispered hiss: "Be swift! Break free! Cast off your mask! No more be chain

Cartography I - Geidor World Map

0 min read

EDIT August 8, 2009: I did print the map, but managed to squeeze another update in, before I did.  Here's an update with the addition of cities, roads, and sea-lanes.  See the artist's comments for an explanation of the symbol's meanings, since I don't yet have a legend: http://altasilvapuer.deviantart.com/art/Geidor-WIP-Cities-and-Roads-132636156 ------------------------ Hrm, it appears that in three years of being here, I still have yet to actually write a journal.  I think this topic is probably as good as any to start writing them, especially since I could use somewhere to organize the links. -------------------- So a few months ago,

You're welcome, Simon. I really enjoyed some of the creature designs early in your gallery; they set my brain a'roving.

And I should probably get around to uploading one or two of the other maps I've done, too. Geidor hasn't seen much more work, but I've done others since then.
