Literature Text

Let danger call to me
from the dead of night.
I'll stand before your monster
and quench down your plight.
For just one more sip
of human's voice
I'll make the very mountains tip
just hark to me one final time.
It's not silence. It's a cage.
Even just a single chime
from a discord melody.
This punishment, too harsh
for a crime so common.
It may shut my ears to suffering
it's the same to all men.
Release me from your prison
and let me harken retribution
or I shan't learn my fellow's cries
to make from sail, good men risen.
Day #10
Word: Harken
