The zee, its blackened waters pitch,
Calls to me, with eerie glow:
It seeks to leave me all betwitched,
So I need not fear the undertow.
Yet any wizened sailor knows:
The zee, though it seems kinder than the sun above,
Does not hesitate to take and impose
Its violent rules and turn your flesh thereof.
The Surface sings, its dangers kind:
Burning sun, merciful and gold.
Yet even should all the stars stand aligned,
The Neath still has stories untold.
There's more to light than just the sun,
And more to life than to answer desire.
For light is beautiful in every form, to every one;
And there are dreams to which I aspire.
The Lightbringer Poet is a Poet who has fully embraced who ne is, and wants to bring joy, peace, and love to others. Ne has seen so many terrible things on the zee - and many beautiful things, too. Ne is tempered by time, poisoned by the sun, and knowing of all the horrors the world has to bring. And despite all of this, ne chooses kindness and happiness, chooses to make something beautiful of nir life. For all the horrors of the world, there are many wonders, too.
This Poet is a Poet who extends nir hand in friendship, who offers understanding to those who have wronged nem, and who is fiercely protective of the ones ne loves. Ne went through hell and back to found Aestival and make sure it could stand alone, could stand strong with none to oppose it. It shows on nir face; a few wrinkles, a haunted look in nir eyes, dulled colors in nir hair. But ne still smiles frequently, gently, nir whole body offering safety and landing.
The Lightbringer Poet wants to bring health and happiness to all of the Neath, and all of the surface, and everything beyond. Ne knows nir goals are lofty, however, and so ne opts to start small. Ne helps where ne can, and even when it hurts ne calls it 'good enough'. No-one can change the world, the universe, single-handedly; but they can change individual lives. And so with each small step ne takes, ne knows: every change matters.
Light is in everyone. Hope, faith, love; these are the things that can make it all better, make it all worth something. The Lightbringer Poet will find the hope in the darkness, and raise up those around them so that everyone can have it.
