Breath of Winter Snow



pinterest.com





















Truedessa and Captain Pat sailing the seas
still searching for those hidden treasures
suddenly the winds shift a northerly breeze
lost in their own world of magical pleasures

A storm brewing, waves bobble up and down
dark skies,  panic seizes Truedessa's heartbeat
spotted cat paces, Captain Pat hides a frown
fear not, we'll ride it out come rain, hail or sleet

Icy pebbles descend from heavy dark clouds
Truedessa pulls her cloak tighter,  what now?
gale force winds shake  the ships shrouds
through rough waters,  Captain Pat plows

From the heavens above tears of white snow
Truedessa, feels deep pain, someone is crying
in the silence, a man of snow begins to grow
long flowing beard, a wizard the ship is flying

Sprouting wings the vessel takes to the sky
Truedessa and Captain Pat are frozen in time
cat tosses snowballs hitting them in the eye
jolting them, they begin to chant rhymes

Suddenly, from afar a glowing blue light
Chione, appears the goddess of snow
You have been summons to help this night
through her breath the cold winds blow

We must defend the gate of mysteries
evil  forces have infiltrated the realm
protecting our secrets  and golden history
sailing across the sky, captain at the helm

Up ahead a dark sorcerer,  casting a spell
Truedessa's reaches for her crystal charm
Capt'n Pat loads the cannon, you're going to hell
white bearded wizard, waving his long arms

Fireballs rumble through the cannon walls
lightning bolts slash through the thick air
Chione cries, the cat makes giant snowballs
throwing them around  with theatrical flare

Two light hearted fools fight side by side
using a bow they shoot poisonous arrows
Captain Pat aims for the sorcerer's eye
Truedessa sings the song of the sparrows 

Captain hits his target head on smashing his orb
shrills of agony fill the chambers of his evil heart
disintegrating, the after shock he could not absorb
cheers of joy, Chione snow tears slowly depart 

A glorious marigold sun breaks the night
their ship floats down to calm waters below
the goddess of snow disappears in the light
where the snow wizard went, no one knows

Captain Pat and Truedessa watch the sunrise
continuing on their voyage to find Bora bay
sailing their ship under a blue rose tinted sky
pushing through each day come what may

tucking in their pocket a crystal snowflake
a rainbow forms, a great day to be awake

    That was a grand tale! Captain Pat got off the deadly shot. Although the Cat was quite adept with those snowballs, wasn't he?

    Wow, these epic adventures do rival my BLACKTHORNE Cinemagenic series; just posted #32 of my episodes. How many of the Trudessa/Captain Pat adventures have you done now? Our imaginations seem to bend toward the saga.

      a smashed eye would impair ones vision and yeah not much fun. I always am amazed at rainbows especially those double and triple layered ones. Have you ever seen one? Truly amazing a reminder
      of the beauty in life.

    That ship seems to make it through just about anything thanks to the crew. Captain Pat's ability to rhyme must be contagious and I do believe Truedessa is infected!

    haha the cat doesn't mind the snow as he rolls it up and away he will throw. At snow Pat may rolls his eyes, but stop the evil wizard and away the snow flies. That sure sounds like a plan, no snow leaves Pat a fan. Sun and rainbow sure will do, as together they sail the deep blue.

    Awesome job once again indeed at your feed.

    What an adventure! I especially loved "Truedessa sings the song of the sparrows." I was amazed at their power to sail out of the turbulence into the sky - a handy trait to have in such situations!
