The Lily and the Seed

My first shot at a poem! It's about the story of Lilyheart and Seedpaw.

Born in the dead of night,

To a mother alone,

Her shrieks filled the air,

Heard by only one,

She was saved,

And then were born,

The lilly and the seed.



Small bodies grew

On mother's love,

A mother who gave her life 

For her little ones.



Two small flames the burned within the Clan,

Growing up with destruction at their heels,

Loyalty did not waver,

<p style="text-align:center;">Their hearts were true,

<p style="text-align:center;">Two fires that burned within the Clan.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Then came that fateful hour,

<p style="text-align:center;">That hour which all wish had never struck,

<p style="text-align:center;">For then, one sister,

<p style="text-align:center;">Gave her life for the stick,

<p style="text-align:center;">That carried her mother's memory.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">She died beneath the waters,

<p style="text-align:center;">Her lung burning for air,

<p style="text-align:center;">Her wet fur dragging her down,

<p style="text-align:center;">Longing for the air,

<p style="text-align:center;">For the sky,

<p style="text-align:center;">For the light.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Her sister's grief was unfathomable,

<p style="text-align:center;">Many a night she spent,

<p style="text-align:center;">Howling to the stars,

<p style="text-align:center;">Craving for her sister,

<p style="text-align:center;">Who resided among them,

<p style="text-align:center;">The sister's heart ached for the lilly,

<p style="text-align:center;">''She had left behind on earth. ''

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">The bond between them was too strong,

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">An enternal thread,

<p style="text-align:center;">To strong for stars to break.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">When the badgers threatened,

<p style="text-align:center;">Both sisters,

<p style="text-align:center;">Dead and alive,

<p style="text-align:center;">Fought together, 

<p style="text-align:center;">Claws for claw,

<p style="text-align:center;">Strike for strike,

<p style="text-align:center;">They saved their home,

<p style="text-align:center;">''Together. ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 

<p style="text-align:center;">The time came, then,

<p style="text-align:center;">For a warrior to be named,

<p style="text-align:center;">Lilypaw became Lilyheart

<p style="text-align:center;">Her sister watched,

<p style="text-align:center;">In her place with her mother,

<p style="text-align:center;">Watching their kin,

<p style="text-align:center;">Proud,

<p style="text-align:center;">Yet sorrowful,

<p style="text-align:center;">For what would never be.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">
