Halloween Poem
So I've had killer writer's block, to the point where I even flaked on my spook_me fic. *The shame!* But I did manage to coax this out... Hope it fits the atmosphere. *And hey, it's JUST in under the wire.

Conan's Lullaby
Warrior gallant, our warrior bold,
Champion of justice like knights sung of old,
Sleep without dreams is more precious than gold,
Sleep now while we watch above you.
You spoke for us when our voices were stilled,
You bled for us when our lifeblood was chilled,
Safe behind walls that it kills you to build,
Sleep now while we watch above you.
Free from the visions of slaughter and spite,
Free from the horrors your days bring to light,
Free from the fear-- if just for tonight,
Sleep now while we watch above you.
Dream of the future we're hoping you'll get,
Dream of the life you can't have back just yet,
You recall us, so we shall not forget,
Sleep now while we watch above you.
