Fates of Three

Husband Father Love and duty
Adoration, his wifes beauty

Seeking shelter, for the night.
Hope will shine with dawns new light.

Wife Mother, child within
Hides the secret of her kin

Knows her husbands fate is sealed.
Tonight the rivals face revealed

Hence the rival comes to light.
His face first seen in Husbands sight.

Rivals might is then revealed.
Husband's doom, his life will yield.

In darkness grasp his breath withheld.
His final breath is love expelled.


The rival turns now to the mother.
He did travel for no other.

His power flies his blow deflected.
Her power shows the child protected.

Repeated blow, she starts to falter.
Another light the course will alter.

With streak of light hope advances
A man appears and light enhances

Darkness strikes and light is piercing
The two impaled Mother wincing.

As darkness falls and light is waning.
To mother he looks eyes are paining.

Mother asks "who sent you light?"
Light responds "twas she inside."
