Saved by a Hero

 Saved by a Hero 


The hand of frost spreads stark and numb,

Chilling my heart, like a broken drum.

To this stillness, I'll surely succumb,

Feeling the hand of Fate caress and hum.


The frost extends, chilling my bone,

Scattered petals, the  wind has blown 

From azure skies, I was thrown

Earthward bound to claim my throne.


My journey ended against my will,

Stars dimmed as I fell ill.

When my heart exploded, all stood still,

Did not know a heartbeat could kill 


The rhythm falters, the drum's tired beat,

A fragile dance, now incomplete.


From the heart of adversity, a hero appears 

With Skillful hands, he shouts, "Clear",

He battles time, he  battles fate,

Defying the god of Death at his gate


Electric whispers pierce the air,

Snatches me from the grasp of despair 

The heart responds, igniting spark 

Guided through endless nights dark.


In the realm where life and death convene,

Resolute spirit defies the unseen.


Through shocks and breaths, pulse returned

Victory earned, Death adjourned 

Testament to human might,

Beacon in the darkest night.


Yet the vengeful gods did not let it pass 

On the hero, they inflicted pain, Alas 


Death sentence that grew in his blood 

Illness progressed like a raging flood


His courage and loyalty will always shine 

An epitaph, I will share on his shrine 

He paid with his life to save mine
