Under the dark clouds of night, I see you go
Away from us, your home, where I don't know

Determined you seem, with your hurry and rigidity
But is that really so? I'd rather think it stupidity

Much like your father you do look, same eyes
I wonder what he would have said, if there were no demise?

You're following in the footsteps of your father's father
I know there's more to it than that, but why bother?

With all these plots and twists and schemes
It's hard to gather who and what are your teams

I just hope you remember who you are, where you're from
Even if our relationship might seem odd to some

Family, duty, honor, these things you've heard before
Keep true to yourself, and remember what you swore

Beyond those mountains, other worlds may lie
But there's a time and place to go there, for you to fly

The skies are falling all around me, and I fear for you
I pray that my dreams of you don't come true

I believe there is still hope, but it is crumbling
Slowly, day by day, I notice I keep stumbling

Will our linage stand strong after all this is over?
Or will we all be buried under the golder clover?

I can understand this poem and I like how it starts out but the last bit sounds a bit Chirstiany for my likes. Not sure if you meant it that why or not. But other then that I really liked it.

Oh and hint it would be better if you left a sumerry of the idea behind the poem next time.
