Serenity's Edge

Shadow night falls,
The light in repose,
Twenty hence years,
A dream arose.

Bewildered and amazed,
Within my youth,
" What is the riddle of steel "
The search for knowledge and truth.

No one can you trust:
Not man, Not woman, Not beast,
This you can trust...
Within a heart to beat.

Years follow through,
Seemingly, without end,
Always life's struggles,
Around each bend.

Within the heart of a warrior,
A dragon still exists,
Ride upon his wing,
And dream of Atlantis.

If steel is the riddle,
Then let the answer be known:
It is not power or control,
Or a strong hand on a throne.

For it is the journey;
Within battle , we appoint,
The heart and steel are one,
God's hand shall anoint.

The quest for a sword,
Legendary as Crom,
A foolish dream..
Not to some.

Endless power,
Once in hand,
For no longer a boy,
But now a man.

We are the chosen,
From dream came reality,
A brotherhood of steel,
With crystal clarity.

Armorers have united us,
With hammer and fire,
Our love of the blade,
A constant desire.

The fulfillment of a dream,
From this point on,
Comes a new beginning,
Past fears, now gone.

A single sword,
Has given so much,
A quiet honor,
At the slightest touch.

The strength of steel,
Given experience of life...
The power of wisdom,
Knowledge and light.

I thank you for this:
My heart cannot measure,
Armorers called " Albion,"
A Jody Samson Treasure.

Never shall I fall,
Nor joy taken from me,
This sensation shall last,
From now, to eternity.

Matthew R. Skrobanski

To all at Albion Armorers,
One day, I will Thank You in person.
