The secret to never falling on your face is to always be ready to slip
In the glow of moon's embrace, a figure stands with hidden face, An alchemist in silent space, where flasks and mystic brews interlace. A cloak of night, a hood so deep, guards the secrets that they keep, Arrows poised in quiet sleep, ready for the hunt, the leap. Elixirs gleam like jeweled lights, a rainbow captured in the night, Each a story, each a might, a potion for the heart's own plight. He mixes with a careful grace, an art that time cannot erase, For in each vial, a different chase, a different path, a different race.

It’s not the special bonds that last but the bonds that last that are special
In realms of frost, where whispers cast, Two sages stand, with gazes vast. One with eyes, like morning's dew, The other roars, a guardian true. Armored thick in runic lore, Their bonds unseen, yet at the core. Not marked by flare, nor flash, nor light, But steadfast through the longest night. For in the chill where silence screams, It’s not the glare that fuels the dreams, But quiet ties that hold and weave, The magic that the hearts believe. Together braced 'gainst storm's cruel test, In unity, their souls invest. No spectacle their link requires, Just lasting through the ice and fires. In kinship's grip, they face the cold, With spirits brave and actions bold. Their link outshines the brightest star, For bonds that last are what they are.

Reality is what you insist it is. But only as long as you insist long enough
Above the clouds, where dreams are spun, A path spirals to a distant sun. A figure walks, alone, yet bold, On a snaking bridge of silver and gold. Tall spires reach, both near and far, Beneath the swirl of a cosmic star. It winds and twists, a galactic door, A reality shaped, forever more. Each step taken with steadfast trust, In a world where steel meets stardust. What's real and true is what you stride, Across the chasm, wide and wide. No limit placed on where you roam, Among the stars, you find your home. Belief is key, the universe spun, On the insistence of what's begun. The walker treads where thought takes flight, Where day clasps hands with the edge of night. A testament to the will's own might, In the ascent of man, to endless height.

Even a rat has the choice to try to chew through the bars of a steel cage till it’s out of teeth. Wherever you are. So do you
In a garden bathed in twilight's glow, A path of wood through blooms does flow. Boundless petals caress the night, Each a whisper of color, a dancer in light. Doors line the path, choices abound, In the silent serenade of dreams unbound. A solitary figure walks the way, A testament that hope does not betray. For even in a realm so fair and wide, Where beauty’s doors on hinges glide, The smallest creature, in a cage confined, May seek the strength its fate to bind. With will as iron, and courage stout, It gnaws at bars to find a route. No matter the place, the time, the view, This power resides in me, in you. To choose the path, to make the stand, To seek the door to the promised land. The journey's arduous, the trials steep, But in our hearts, this truth we keep.

Faith is a tool. You should believe in the thing that gives you the most power
In the light where shadows play, A knight kneels to gods, as if to say, From thee, I seek the mightiest hand, To grant me strength to rule the land. Around him, robed divinities stand tall, Specters of faith, at his call. Each a patron of power divine, In their favor, he seeks to align. One whispers of secrets, veiled in night, Another gleams with justice bright. Choices laid before his armored grace, Each god's essence, he might embrace. With hands outstretched, the decision weighs, In the silent communion of their gaze. For in the choosing lies his tool, The sacred force that breaks all rule. The knight, a vessel of their creed, Seeks the one that fuels his need. In the dance of destiny and chance, His faith, his armor, his sword, his lance. No allegiance to the light or dark, But to the fire that leaves its mark. The gods in robes judge his heart's power, In this consecrated, fateful hour.

The greatest deceivers must first know what the truth actually is and so ironically hold the greatest capacity for truthfulness
In a realm of shadows and light so vivid, Two faces entwined, their secrets rigid. Day's bright gaze and night's cool touch, One knows much, the other, just as much. Golden eye, a sun's fierce burn, In its glow, the truth discern. Yet within the dark, a starry sea, Whispers of what is, and what can be. Ornate truths twist and twine, In every curve, a hidden sign. The greatest know the lie's keen blade, For only they can wield truth's spade. In silent contemplation, finger pressed, A dance of knowledge in each crest. What's real is gripped in artful guise, For truth's most potent in the wise. The paradox of deception's art, Is knowing truth deep in the heart. And in this visage split in hue, Lies the essence of what's false and true.

Two roads branched and I took the harder road. And that will make all the difference
In a realm where shadows dwell and light does tease, A traveler stands where paths diverge in silent pleas. To left, the dark where daunting figures loom, With spears and crowns in the deepening gloom. To right, the promise of a golden haze, A trail through the woods, where the morning rays Dance on daisies, and the air is sweet, A carpet of blooms laid at his feet. Ahead, the figure contemplates the scene, A choice to make, as quiet as a dream. In the whispers of leaves, the moment's rife, One path is struggle, the other, gentle life. Yet in his stance, there's a will that shows, A knowledge that only the brave heart knows. For in the choosing of the road less fair, Lies the secret of a life rare. In the wood where the forked pathways bend, His choice will echo, his spirit transcend. For in the challenge, not ease, one finds The making of difference, the binding of ties.

It is those opponents you most underestimate that will deliver you your most painful defeats
In a realm where night and magic dance, A cloaked figure holds a sword, an entranced glance. Majestic and mighty, a titan stands tall, With horns that scrape the stars, he might never fall. His armor a cosmos, his gaze a piercing light, A giant among the heavens, a celestial knight. And yet the smaller, unassuming at his feet, Bears the truth of ages that wisdom will repeat. Underestimation is the silent, deadly sin, For the unheralded may carry the power within. In quiet confidence, the cloaked one bides, A reminder that true strength often hides. The sky roars with a challenge, a silent decree, A lesson in humility, as vast as the sea. For in the smallest chest, beats the heart of a storm, And the underestimated will the world transform.

Only two reasons to mess up a good thing. Either you didn’t know how good it was or you didn’t think you deserved it
In armor clad, 'neath peaks so high, A warrior bold, beneath the sky. With treasure spilled from chests of wood, In silent thought, the figure stood. A cloak aflame with setting sun, A path of gems, his battles won. Yet in his gaze, a storm did brew, A tempest of what he thought he knew. For glory found is glory lost, If not known its worth, its cost. And hearts that beat in chests of steel, May not believe the joy they feel. So stride he might 'cross valley's breath, Confronting ever-looming death. The truth remains for him to see, The worth of good, and what will be. For in the spoils of mountain's throne, Where light from dusk-touched jewels shone. One ponders if he's fit to hold, The life that glitters bright as gold.
