~Pieces from Bardic Circle~

Post by Cianne »

In the order they were recited ~ The theme was "Focus"

~Focus~


When things go wrong and darkness reigns, our focus becomes intense.
We focus on
Why us?
Why me?
Why this?
We focus on it is your fault,
not mine.
We focus on everyones weakness while we boast of strength.
We look for a Saviour, wishing secretly it would be us, me, you.

Legends in our own minds.

When the darkness lifts, what has our focus wrought?
We hope that some good has come out of the bad,
that words spoken in anger and frustration have not caused wounds beyond repair.
Focus each dream, do not wait for tragedy to strike.
Focus on the beauty around you,
focus on the incredible wonders before you,
Focus on those whom you love and those you may not,
and focus on making amends for the time when your focus had gone astray.
Focus as if every dream,
may be your last....

Focus.

Gatekeepers, fatesenders, soulmasters , NO!
Being a Seer is the best way to go.
We can disappear in the blink of an eye,
recharge your items brand new, don't cry!
We can chain blast your ass if you want to fight hard,
blocking a portal?, dont' make me laugh ! we can blend through your ward!
You want to hide? that's cool, WE can see
I might share my vis if you're nice to me!
And cream of the crop,
Combine is the SHIZZ!
Seers are best, hell yeah they is!!

Water, it moves fluidly. Our Dreams can always move in the same way
Alas we see ourselves... a reflection of a day gone past.
We see our dreams go by
Will it ever end?
That pool of water that changes colors as the fallen leaves of an autumn day?
Our dreams have meaning...
let's master them.
As the soul can master change.

Why fear the pivot brought by the shifting of uneven ground?
you will regain balance or tumble.
No such cause for fear or loathing,
to walk, to balance...are learned skill

Too easy is it to ignore the ocean for the waves,
Forests for trees and beaches for grains of sand,
The sunlit skies will yet bear clouds, but what of it?
This changes nothing.
The sun will descend and set amidst a fading halo of golden light,
to yield the sky to sterling moon and the glitter of stars.
Does it matter that a cloud partook of this performance?

We strive for the impossible,
to hold more in palms ever meant to bear the impossible weight
of the world...
of dreams and hopes...
of faith or lives
Weep not! For small hands are small exactly as they are meant to be.
And so, why try?

Your eyes only view just so
And mystery can only exist when going unseen.
Do you choose to see a forest or the tree?
The ocean or the wave?
The sky or the cloud?
Or...
Do you revel in the acceptance that all of existence is only so magnificent,
so exquisite and sublime in its grandeur...
But from the choices made by individual threads,
focusing on their individual part of the whole...
All the while ignorant of how splendid is the tapestry that together they weave,
but will never themselves view...
Like grains of sand upon the placid shore.

We have to cross divisive barriers...
When we wade through storms in togetherness...
Water rising like silent couriers...
Brings our disposition from this madness.
Beyond much witless pride and prejudice...
We take shelter under one roof as one...

Our focus, our creed, our grouping in bliss...
As we nurture new dreams to carry on.
No boulder blasting from sweltering rain
We shall heal and overcome growing pain
There is always light under the tunnel....
Just keep your eyes open through the funnel.

Tentacles are my best friend
I wish you had them
