A Glass

The best man has left us standing
  here at the bar as he stands
  in the mountain mists.
Lift, lift and toast a glass for him.

He carried his steel with pride
  and wore his colors well.
A glass! A glass! Lift and toast a glass!

Kilt and sword he stands herein
  in the mists and in our hearts.
A glass, a glass! Lift, toast, and drink a glass!

Unused his claymore hangs,
  unworn his kilt now lies.
"Avast! To arms and kilt now fly!"
  he cries o'er hill and glen.
A glass, a glass. Please, for him, let us pour
  A glass.

The Voice I hear your voice on the wind
And I here you call out my name

'Listen my child', you say to me
'I am the voice of your history
Be not afraid, come follow me
Answer my call and I'll set you free'

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone
The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
Ne'er do I sleep throughout all the cold winter long
I am the force that in springtime will grow

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrow and blood iThe Voice by ~TygerStryke

Xile's Crossing - Starfall CaravanseraiWhitehall Inn

Ben turned out to be a Red Dwarf late in his years, and solid as a stump. Silent as one too. The ride was short, quiet, and bumpy. If both had walked, they would be no more than caked mud instead of flesh and fur by the time they had gotten even a few paces to the Whitehall. With his usual habit, Raen busied himself checking their packs to see if everything was still secure. Pulling open a secure flap, he removed a yellowed piece of well worn paper from his cousin.

Kierun had talked of starting a new life, that there was land out here as far as the mind could see, just open and waiting. Raen was a fifth son of the House, no onXile's Crossing - Starfall Caravanserai by ~TygerStryke

Xile's Crossing -- Early WinterfallRaen's boot landed heavy in the puddle of half frozen goosh of mud and snow. He would have cared more if every stitch of clothing he wore wasn't soaked through and beginning to freeze. The only thing keeping him from freezing on the spot was movement. Half a street away was the Bearded Dragon Inn, and his destination.

A nip of dirty slush fell silently from the eaves of the blacksmith's shop and landed with a `Splot!' on Kylara's nose. Shaking her head to dislodge it, she sneezed heavily.

"Benacht." Said Raen.

.:Stow it half pint:. Came the mental voice of the ghost cat. Her normally smoke gray coat was almost black with the moisture and sXile's Crossing -- Early Winterfall by ~TygerStryke

I am a cynical wise-ass who views life in a fairly realistic and most often fatalistic manner.
I count my Christian faith to be one of the more important things in my life, and I hold onto it with everything I've got. All too often, however, I'll defend my faith in a manner that is too zealot-like to swallow.
I consider myself a writer of the same calibre as Government Warning Label auditors, but I'm striving to get better -- MUCH better.
