Verse IV – Exploration

Verse IV – Exploration

Men explored ever so deeper

Outside their country, and further

To the West, they found the endless ocean

Rich in fishes, beautiful and ancient

To the East they found the great sea

Wider than what the eye could see

The South was fully clouded in shadow

Under the Orange Moon, none dared to go

And from the North, not one man who went

Ever came back to his home to tell

Mysteriously ill the King fell

On his throne he died, in pain bent

After him the Kingdom would be known

For he was the first to bear its crown

Tigan, home of King Hartigan

Tigan, land of the first human

***

Eliza, his first daughter, became the first Queen

On her frail shoulders fell the lands of in between

The death of her father she suspected

Came from an enemy undetected

She knew not why how or who did the coup

But to the North she sent another group

And again, none returned…
