ENCIPHERED CLUES
- - - - - - - - -

CLUE 1
Drowning in the blue fog, remember me
where armour coils to strike and
the wind howls afield. Find me 'neath
the threshold where the sublime came into being.

CLUE 2
Look heavenward and remember
the funeral of night, black in grief
for weeping votives, where broken hearts
in shattered marble cast off the shroud of mourning.

CLUE 3
Feel the earth tremble.
Hear the screams. Recall the sight.
Watch the tumult cease, the rubble still,
beneath the Lord of Shadows' might.

CLUE 4
Hideaway beneath the shade,
a barrier 'neath branches high,
where I behold the memory of
a shield shattered by golden light.

CLUE 5
In the mist, the grass glistens.
Through the mist of Memory, listen -
watch the sky thrice be held
and forests glow in Nature's meld.
