I hear you cry for love that you have lost
I hear your whimpers cutting through the night
Oh Bells, you never knew how high the cost
Until they've taken all you knew was right.
You go to sleep, they visit you in dreams
The aspects of the maiden now at war,
A lover or a fighter? Now it seems,
There's no one left to love or to fight for.
Yet I can see there's more than that in you
Oh, Bellona, the world is not so gray.
For you've a heart that's loving, strong, and true --
So listen as your comrade now does say:
There's beasts -- like I -- who need your strength and care
So lead! Protect us from the evil here.

Well, technically this is the /second/ sonnet to Bells. The first is goofy and the third is only used in an epilogue. Still... again from Redventure 5.
Damask and poem are mine, Bells belongs to her author.

I think my favorite part of this in the the post that this appeared in was the line: "No applause or smiles -- silence was the coda to his performance." It was just such a powerful image that followed this truly heartfelt poem from a friend. It was one of those little things that I really liked about the imagery you wove. We all know that in real life, silence can speak volumes more than words, and you captured that. The loquacious minstrel caught it!
