Of Turtles and Giants

The shadowlands accept the turtle because he can smile
amidst an inquisition
- Rilian

But only when the beams of glory dance beyond the driven sea
- Maven

Who, save the albatross, can notice this subtle changing of the guard?
For when does the laughing child get to take his turn?
- Rilian

Fortunate are we that this extant family is fully au courant and not adrift on the matter.
Those who wait must again find their home
- Maven

If genuinity is lacking, lengthening their reach will only allow more drifters
to slip into the infinite abyss...
- Rilian

For who will scale the ever changing obstacle of the incumbent one?
I say those that desire to tread, will so tread
- Maven

The fire within scales the wall. Those who capture it can only find solace
in knowing that a setup is afoot in the Circle less traveled
- Rilian

Travel as you may, the threat of those who reach aimlessly through
the gaping holes of freedom may find flight
- Maven

But turtles can only be pulled if they wish, and only by a giant
sporting an invisible shield
- Rilian

I must ask, what giant is inclined to labor carelessly?
Those testudines who seek the face of their minions
may not always conquer
- Maven

Simple minds can only conquer when teamed with children
riding on the backs of eagles.
- Rilian

Quite aptly spoken. Those who clearly see are never taken aback
at the true revelation of who actually holds the simple minds
- Maven
