Morning Meditation (viacarad1016)
5:30am
you take a sip of my poison in an attempt to know me
you find me in your aching liver, in bile shared between frost-bitten lips
in torn muscles and bruises from forgotten falls
i show you the watersedge, i show you black sky melting into blacker waters, i show you what too close feels like,
your head in the crook of my neck does little to warm you
i reach out icy hands to try soothe your shivering form
slipping them under your shirt to siphon body heat to my greedy bones
i’m sorry for how much i want all that’s in you
ALT(Cheydinhal → Water’s Edge)
No sooner had I left the hopeful settlers of Crestbridge Camp than my duty pulled me southward, following the Niben’s winding path. The next Fighters Guild contract awaited: a plea for help from Biene Amelion in the quiet hamlet of Water’s Edge.
The road dipped through damp woodlands and faded farms, the late Hearthfire air heavy with the scent of turning leaves. Water’s Edge, when I reached it, seemed more a promise than a village—a few sturdy shacks clinging to the shore, their foundations battered by hardship.
Biene greeted me with red-rimmed eyes but the stubborn resolve of one who has weathered many storms. “My father’s debts are too great,” she admitted, voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve nothing left but our family’s old sword and cuirass, locked away in the tomb by the water. If you can retrieve them, I can repay what we owe and keep our home.”
I saw no greed in her plea, only desperation. Some debts are paid in gold; others in sorrow. “I’ll do what I can,” I promised, and set off for the Amelion ancestral tomb nestled beneath tangled willows.
Inside, the air was close and cold. Undead guardians shuffled between cracked mosaics and broken urns, their eyes hungry for warmth long since forgotten. Dawnsunder’s steady light scattered the gloom, and Sunglade deflected each claw and rusted blade. I moved with reverence, disturbing nothing but what stood in the way of hope.
At last, I found the sword and cuirass, their metal dulled by years but their weight unchanged. I gathered them up and retraced my steps, leaving the dead to their peace.
Biene met me at the door, her relief a quiet benediction. “This will save us,” she breathed. “You’ve done more than reclaim our name—you’ve restored our future.”
I thought of Cropsford’s tilled fields, of debts and kindness and the small victories that change the shape of a life. Some battles are fought in shadow and steel, but others—perhaps the most important—are won by answering a cry for help.
True service asks for no reward but the chance to make wrong things right.
In giving hope, we find our own.

Silently they search
making one last pass into
the calm dusky air that has
quickly settled
around us

Snowdrops by the water’s edge look so fresh on a bright sunny day in early Spring. I am looking forward to painting fabrics and scrim to interpret this composition into fabric and thread.
