And so lurks the predator...
Cloaked in fine green to match the foliage.
An eerie tantrum of times unknown
Gave wing to the beast --- to fly from the Earth
A home, and a tomb...for her burdens unknown

Now fly, my dove, my soot-footed raven
Unleash thine wings in fury towards flight
And dive, down, nameless, unburdened, untamèd...
But still all alone, a wisp in the night...

You try to hide your face too well
It's hidden behind a cloak, but all
Can tell that the tattered feathers remain;
A guide for the lonely and lost and afraid...
Each feather trails after you long after dusk
Of the Endless, the Keeper, the Cage without rust...

Go home, towards the heavens! Towards the skies, towards love...
Towards something, not nothing, but something above...
And when you start flying, again may you see
The reason you flocked down to ol' misery...

And the only mistake that she ever made
Was to think that the predator
Lurked outside
"The Cage."

Umm, I dunno if you'll like it or not, but I randomly decided to write a poem, and got inspired. Hope you don't mind it...

It actually isn't all gibberish...most of what I wrote actually had meaning, if you can figure it out Sticking out tongue

And yes, I realize that Reetno had no wings (or did they? i...dunno), but they always kinda reminded me of a Gryphon of sorts Sticking out tongue And I know Reetno was male (right?), but the her referred to the Earth, not to Reetno.

Well that's something indeed

Well that's something indeed interesting. Though I was never really good at making out meanings from poems (^^')

To me Reetno was a type of wingless gryphon... or at least that's how I had made him after awhile... Though he is dead now... but still, thanks for this (^^) At least he isn't forgotten.

Well...it kinda said that

Well...it kinda said that Reetno was given life, given "flight", but what he saw after being given life made him slowly retreat back, trying to hide, trying to find another form...afraid to ever live again. He didn't seem to realize that it wasn't the world that was entirely at fault...it was also partly him that was making the world so grey, making him unable to return to life.

I'm bad at explaining things. xD;; My brain kinda zoned halfway through typing that as I watched your avatar.
