Nu Caltru
1 The First Poem
1In the dawn of Trog’cent’s mist, Berane’eq arose,
2From the depths of marsh and lore, where silent water flows.
3He sculpted kin from swamp and shade, in his divine guise,
4The atpians, his children born, beneath the veiled skies.
5Guided by his subtle hand, through mire and through reed,
6Berane’eq, in whispers, taught the atpians to heed.
7“Adapt as marshlands ebb and flow, in my name, embrace change,”
8“For in the flux of life and time, find strength to rearrange.”
9Praise him with hearts attuned to change, in rhythms soft and slow,
10For in the dance of shifting sands, his blessings surely flow.
11The atpians, in reverence, his wisdom did enshrine,
12In every leaf and droplet, his teachings intertwine.
13“In the mystery of the swamp, seek not the light of day,
14But in the shadows find your path, let intuition sway.”
15Solemn is their worship, in the dim of twilight’s grace,
16Berane’eq’s guidance in their hearts, a subtle, fleeting trace.
17“In the silence of the grove, in the murmur of the stream,
18There, find my voice, my children, in each reflective dream.”
19His parables, like water’s flow, through their spirits course,
20“Be like the stream, relentless, with a gentle, yet firm force.”
21“In the embrace of marshland’s hold, your spirits shall not fray,
22For in the cycles of the earth, my presence will allay.”
23The atpians, with humble hearts, in Berane’eq’s name,
24Seek balance in the shifting world, his constancy their aim.
25“As fungi glow beneath the moon, in death’s eternal sleep,
26So shall your souls in afterlife, my luminous vigil keep.”
27Their rituals, a testament, to cycles of rebirth,
28In life, in death, in realms beyond, they prove their sacred worth.
29“In the fog and in the mire, your destiny is sown,
30Embrace the chaos of the world, for it is there you’ve grown.”
31So speaks Berane’eq, in hushed tones, beneath the starlit dome,
32His children of the swamp and mist, in Trog’cent find their home.
33“In the whisper of the wind, in the rustle of the leaf,
34Therein lies my counsel, in the solace of belief.”
35The atpians, in their journeys, carry forth his creed,
36In every act, in every thought, in every noble deed.
37“Let not your hearts be swayed by stone, by steel, nor by gold’s gleam,
38But by the wisdom of the marsh, the river, and the stream.”
39In reverence, they live their lives, in Berane’eq’s embrace,
40His guidance, like the morning mist, a subtle, fleeting grace.
41“In the twilight of the grove, in the twilight of your years,
42Remember me, your guardian, through joys and through your fears.”
43The atpians, in twilight’s glow, their praises softly sing,
44To Berane’eq, their deity, the heart of everything.
45“In the balance of the world, in the dance of day and night,
46There find your place, my children, in the spectrum of my light.”
47Their lives, a canvas of his will, in hues of dusk and dawn,
48In Berane’eq’s realm they thrive, from first light to the morn.
49“As the swamp embraces all, in its vast, enigmatic hold,
50So should you embrace each other, with hearts both brave and bold.”
51In the sacred groves of Trog’cent, they chant his holy name,
52Berane’eq, the ever-changing, in him, no two the same.
53“In the cycle of the seasons, in the cycle of the moon,
54There find your rhythm, find your pulse, in harmony attune.”
55Their faith, unwavering, in the fog-shrouded land,
56In Berane’eq, they trust, by his silent, guiding hand.
57“As the reed bends in the wind, yet breaks not in its sway,
58So must you be resilient, in each night and each day.”
59His lessons, like the waters deep, in their hearts reside,
60In Berane’eq’s teachings, they find strength, they find their guide.
61“In the murk and in the shadow, your spirits shall not cower,
62For in the depths of darkness, you shall find your power.”
63The atpians, in shadows deep, their faith steadfast and true,
64In Berane’eq’s enigmatic light, their souls they do renew.
65“In the ebb and flow of life, in the turning of the tide,
66There find your path, my children, let my wisdom be your guide.”
67Their songs, a gentle murmur, in the night’s embrace,
68Praise Berane’eq, their shepherd, in his eternal grace.
69“As the swamp holds its secrets, in its heart so deep and wide,
70So should you keep my teachings, ever present, ever inside.”
71In the heart of Trog’cent’s mystery, their god’s voice rings clear,
72Berane’eq, the ever-present, in every drop of tear.
73“In the solitude of the marsh, in the solitude of your soul,
74There find my essence, my children, let it make you whole.”
75The atpians, in silence, in reverence, they bow,
76To Berane’eq, their guardian, to his eternal vow.
77“Let not the world’s chaos, its noise and its strife,
78Distract you from my teachings, from the essence of life.”
79His wisdom, like the moon’s soft glow, upon the waters cast,
80Guides them through the marshland, through present, future, past.
81“In the dance of light and shadow, in the dance of life and death,
82There find your balance, my children, in every breath.”
83The atpians, in their devotion, in Berane’eq’s name,
84Walk the path of wisdom, their spirits ever aflame.
85“As the marsh embraces change, in its constant, shifting guise,
86So must you embrace life, with open hearts, open eyes.”
87Their homage, a silent whisper, in the twilight’s serene calm,
88To Berane’eq, their beacon, their guiding, healing balm.
89“In the depths of Trog’cent’s heart, in the depths of your own,
90There find me, your creator, never alone.”
91In the hush of sacred groves, they honor his divine spark,
92Berane’eq, their mentor, in daylight, in the dark.
93“In the cycle of the cosmos, in the cycle of the land,
94There find your purpose, my children, by my subtle hand.”
95The atpians, in harmony, with nature and with fate,
96In Berane’eq’s wisdom, they trust, they contemplate.
97“As the swamp nurtures life, in its rich, fertile womb,
98So shall you nurture each other, in joy, in gloom.”
99His parables, like stars above, in their minds they gleam,
100Berane’eq, their guide, their eternal dream.
101“In the whispers of the swamp, in the whispers of your heart,
102There find my presence, my children, we shall never part.”
103The atpians, in their faith, in the marsh’s embrace,
104Live by Berane’eq’s teachings, with dignity, with grace.
105“As the swamp’s mist rises, in the dawn’s early light,
106So rise, my children, with wisdom, with might.”
107Their lives, a quiet homage, to their god’s ceaseless care,
108In Berane’eq’s shadow, they find solace, they find prayer.
109“In the end, as in the beginning, my spirit shall abide,
110In the heart of Trog’cent, in each atpian’s stride.”
