Song of Rest

Summary:

A little sonnet for the adventurers after a hard day.

Notes:

Couldn't sleep, so I wrote a BG3-themed sonnet. Or at least loosely medieval?

Started as a lullaby for Gale, turned into...something else? Mostly posting to work up the courage to put some actual fics on here.

Also iambic pentameter?? I don't know her.

Work Text:

Time and decisions have wearied your mind
The roads long and dusty, the days hard
Gods prove untrusting and heroes unkind
A tale of woe sung by an off-key bard

You hang your head nightly before you rest
Consumed by the day’s compromises
When each good intention’s put to the test
Even victory comes in disguises

But sleep will still come to the tempest-tossed
The peasant, the rogue, the knight, the lord
Hours each day to oblivion lost
By ally and enemy, shield and sword

So bury your burdens and rest your schemes
A weary mind longs for a night of dreams
