Distant Intimacy

'Twas later one Winter's evening 'round 500 After Fall
As I was sitting by the stream, I heard your baleful call.
"Come fill me up," I heard you cry, "come be with me this night!
"I feel so weak, and need your help to make me feel alright!"

I travelled far across the land to purchase things to help
It took me almost all the night - "Oh hurry, please!" you'd yelp.
But in good time, I was prepared to make my way to you.
Although you were so far away, my path was straight and true.

I entered into your abode, a dark, secluded place.
You looked a shadow of yourself. I softly touched your face
I felt myself transported, there was magic in the air.
You stood so proud, despite the fact you were so weak and bare

"Oh, Deedub! you know what I need!" you screamed out with delight.
You took most all that I could give - your strength hit new-found
heights.
And soon enough, you were all done - you just could not take more.
But I could see the power, now, your heart was strong and sure.

And so I touched you one last time, then made my journey home.
I felt quite sad for leaving you so far away, alone.
But soon I had a burst of joy - my friends, they gave me cheers.
"The Icon's at full power now." is what I told my peers.

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Chronos, in the year 498 AF.
