"Soon we must all choose between what is right and what is easy." - Dumbledore (Goblet of Fire)


He found me in my leaking hour
Up high where no one could see
He showed me to the mole's home
Way deep where the sun can't reach
I am safe where he leads me
But much safer am I in he
For all walls shall fall
All towers be leveled
All holes shall fill
All bridges will crumble
Though the refuge of his arms
Will always be welcome
He found me in my leaking hour
And stanched my incessant weep
Way up high where no one could see
And down deep where the sun can't reach

I got my inspiration for this piece from the Hunger Games series- the relationship between Katniss and Peeta. Though not the entire text is relevant towards trilogy. Also know that true love between two people runs deeper and holds stronger than anything earthen can break.

Amazingly poetic. I've never read the Hunger Games, but I'm looking forward to the day I get a hold of a copy. Simply breathtaking, keep up the good work :)))))
