Listen well to tales we tell
between adventures
and heroes felled,
for in the stories
between the lines
is where we live
our normal lives.
And those, dear reader
are best untold
for in monotony
our hearts are bold
but not heroic
as with epics,
they love as old
enduring, Hold.
We speak of sword,
grand word and crown,
and forget the meals,
the unshaken down
where all is steady
content and well,
and that’s where heroes
prefer to dwell.
