Back to Contests

An Ode to Celest by Miciah

Runner Up for March 2011

When all hope seems lost,
Within the Basin of Life
When the Taint comes to fruition,
And we all pay the cost.

There is but a single star
That fills the night sky
Leading all to Celest
Seen from afar

Beauty from the purest water
To the structures of wonder
All flowing together smoothly
An escape from the mindless, Taint-induced slaughter

Feelings of Eternal hope and joy,
Pervade throughout the glorious city
Definately a source, for Celestian pride
Encouraged by the amazing feelings, she employs

A city worth dying for,
Without a second thought
To defend and protect
Through the never-ending war

The tenets of the angelic beings
Known as the Holy Supernals
Lead the citizens through daily life
Both love and joy is what it brings

From the highest tower
To the lowest road
None can miss the voices
Echoing with praise by the hour

A city so pure, and so clean
That brings happiness to all
And strikes fear in her enemies heart
What is next for this glorious city, is yet to be seen.
