I have once played final fantasy crisis core game and the following poem caught my utmost attention. I really love this poem, enjoy!

When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss,
her gift everlasting

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus,
nd take to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn,
Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away,
the end is nigh

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life,
the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams,
no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul,
corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment,
to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly,
but surely

-Adapted from Avatar Genesis in FF Crisis Core-

Remarks: A poem that is so beautifully crafted, bringing magic to life. The beauty of the world, including the dark side, is highlighted.
