Midsummer Fire Festival Prayer
Let this fire represent the spark of life within each of us, yearning to grow.Let this fire represent the burning idealism of crusaders for justice.Let this fire represent the fervor of passion in a couple's hearts.Let this fire represent the spirit of community as we are all part of one flame.Let this fire never go out.

By dragon's fire and blood
You survived the Sundering
And the resulting floodGiven to the Quel'dorei
You passed across the new sea
And there saw the rebirth of
The Well of EternityThe Sunwell gave the Quel'dorei
Arcane power, long life and might
You were wielded with courage
By these defenders of the LightCarried far to Northrend
By an elven hand of vengeance
Your new mistress fell to the Scourge
And was turned by the darknessHeld by this unliving Blood Queen
You were purposely shattered
Your blade left in a wyrm's skull
Shards of your hilt were scatteredGathered from across Icecrown
Reforged in the Pit of Saron
And...

The weight of the world
Upon my aching shoulders
Not broad enough, by far
The stresses of the day
Lead to long, sleepness nightsSo then should I fear
The rising sun, the dawn?
Or should I embrace it
And luxuriate in its warmth
A chance for a changeWill my outlook matter?
If I greet the morning
With a smile and nod
Will the skies remain clear?
Or am I consigned by Fate?Every day a new wall appears
A new mountain to climb
A new river to cross
Some days I find the strength
How much longer can I maintain?Of course then I see
The reality of my life
Complaining, whining about nothing
Everyone has their own problems
And I should learn to dealSpoi...
Despair.
As I awake I feel the combined pain
Physical anguish and emotional torment
A serpent has coiled it's way up my back and around my neck
And a hunting cat's jaws surround my heart, squeezing
One said: to sleep, perchance to dream
But for me: to sleep, surety to suffer
Stiff, sore muscles and aching joints
I am getting old
Guilt, fear, sorrow and regret
I can't let go
