Ran across an old stanza from a failure poem that really reminded me of the guild that all my characters are in on Thorium Brotherhood server in the World of Warcraft game. The guild is called the Sunpath Riders and all the people in it have been really wonderful to get to know. I made plans to tamper with a new poem based off of this one stanza (an edited version of that stanza is the very last stanza of the new poem) to pay tribute to these wonderful people and their wonderful ideals. Here it is as written before my hand itches with the need to edit anything:

ON THIS PATH

Where sorrow
Touches down
The Autumn wind blows tears
A desperate wailing sound
That issues in the rain
A lonely cry of pain

An echo
Reverberates
As if in dreadful mocking
Baited breath just wait
Gentle warmth felt on the air
Of those who really care

No one
Is all alone
This warmth seems to proclaim
Your soul feels called to home
At last such peace and rest
Striving to be your best

Sun rise
Orangey hue
It starts so innocent
Troubles often brew
Storms may come and go
With tide's ebb and flow

Sun's path
Strong and brilliant
Ever looking forward
May we rise triumphant
In our quest for peace at last
Let us rise above the past

Sunset
The path is done
Ending with brilliant color
Perfection set to stun
It takes the breath away
Yet promises new days

Its here
Find yourself
Reach out for that end
Retrieve the soul's wealth
Here with this family
Set all spirits free

Joined hands
Happy smiles
Bright fire, home and warmth
Going to great miles
To glimpse the rising sun
Our path makes us one
