STEEL AND FLESH A WHISPER OF REDEMPTION
However, he began.In the realm of ink and quill, where words find flight,Where wounds find solace in the depths of night,I weave a tapestry of whispered grace,A symphony of redemption, love's embrace.From blood-stained fields, where death danced wild,And screams of agony pierced the night's exile,I sought redemption in the echoes of my soul,Aching to reclaim what wars had stole.Whispers of redemption kissed my wounded heart,A balm to heal the scars, to mend each shattered part.In verses veiled, a sanctuary I found,Where forgiveness blossomed on sacred ground.With trembling pen, I etched a tale of rebirth,A melody of hope rising from the earth,From ashen ruins, a phoenix would arise,To soar above the shadows, beneath azure skies.For in this realm of poetry, I found release,A refuge from the darkness, a sanctuary of peace.Through meter and rhyme, my spirit took flight,To dance upon the stars, a beacon in the night.Whispers of redemption whispered in the breeze,Heal
