Domain

Inside this frozen domain
where the Beast in splendour reigned
and though at rest
by peace and grace
the darkness, still,
remains.
A lonely voice unheard in light
and muffled now in gloom,
no chosen path that treads the way
but cast and set
and doomed
In driven acts and justice mask
this freedom, just a game
played out twixt Beast and Sentinel
yet each to each, each move is made
and each held in disdain
Have I no word within this song
all deeds and thoughts in vain
a powerless king
in broken tower
no statement to proclaim
