Revelations IX: Pursuit / Revelaciones IX: Persecución


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Previously in Revelations:  Taken twice to witness the end of all things, our hero finally faces his destiny and accepts the task given him by a shining stranger:  Protect the bloodlines of the two men that may one day bring hope for a new future.
In small home in northern Ireland, his first charge, Louisa, has been found, but he is not the only one to find her....

Anteriormente en el Apocalipsis: toma dos veces para presenciar el fin de todas las cosas, nuestro héroe finalmente se enfrenta a su destino y acepta la tarea que le había dado un extraño brillante: Proteger las líneas de sangre de los dos hombres que algún día podría traer la esperanza de un nuevo futuro.
En la pequeña casa en el norte de Irlanda, su primer cargo, Louisa, se ha encontrado, pero no es el único que encontrarla....

Revelations IX:  Pursuit

Hoof beats outside the door
Still a fair distance away
Caused all to stand
I bade them bring me every coat
Or heavy garment
And to lay it upon young Louisa
And as they complied I peered out the tiny window
My keen eyes seeing four shadows moving swiftly
Two by two, with great purpose
My hand without thought on sword hilt
And then released
Certainly I could eventually best these four
But should any harm befall my charge
The world would pay the price
Escape our only option

Revelaciones IX: Persecución

Cascos fuera de la puerta
Todavía una distancia considerable
Causó todo de estar en pie
Le pedí que me traigan cada capa
O prenda pesada
Y para ponerla al joven Louisa
Y a medida que cumplen Me asomé por la ventana pequeña
Mis agudos ojos viendo cuatro sombras que se mueven con rapidez
De dos en dos, con gran propósito
Mi mano sin pensar en la empuñadura de la espada
Y luego puesto en libertad
Ciertamente pude finalmente mejor estos cuatro
Pero si cualquier daño sobrevendrá a mi cargo
El mundo tendría que pagar el precio
Escapar nuestra única opción


The family having no horse
By foot we fled
Sinking deep into crunching snow
Each step leaving an easy trail
The dark of night
And rough terrain
Our only hopes of discretion
We put a fair distance
Between ourselves and the house Adrain
When the howling wind
Bore without pity cries of desperation
From the the home now aflame
To her credit
Through shining tears
Louisa continued apace
Not one stride broken
And thus I did the same

La familia tiene ningún caballo
A pie huimos
Hundimiento profundamente en la nieve crujiendo
Cada paso dejando un rastro fácil
La oscuridad de la noche
Y el terreno áspero
Nuestra única esperanza de la discreción
Ponemos una distancia considerable
Entre nosotros y la casa Adrain
Cuando el aullido del viento
Bore sin piedad llora de desesperación
Desde la casa ahora en llamas
Para su crédito
A través de las lágrimas que brillan
Louisa continuó a buen ritmo
Ni una sola zancada roto
Y así lo hice el mismo



Every step as if a mile
To my eternal legs
Must have felt a thousandfold
To my small companion
Yet not a whimper or complaint
What sort of seed of greatness
Lies within, that such strength is so evident
And lost in my thought
And through winds now stronger
I had allowed the riders to approach so closely
Equine eyes shone plainly in what dim light was seen
So quickly they advanced on our position

Cada paso como si una milla
Para mis piernas eternas
Debe haber sentido por mil
A mi pequeña compañera
Sin embargo, ni un gemido o queja
¿Qué clase de semilla de grandeza
Se encuentra dentro, que esa fuerza es tan evidente
Y perdido en mi pensamiento
Y a través de los vientos ahora más fuerte
Yo había permitido a los corredores acercarse a tan estrechamente
Ojos Equinos brillaban claramente en lo que fue visto la luz tenue
Así que rápidamente avanzaron sobre nuestra posición


My best option was to shove Louisa
And follow as she roll down a steep, small hill
To a tiny alcove, barely deeper than a grave
An irony I spent no time considering
As I reached to draw my steel
And found it gone
And yet I poked my head above the little rise
To see our attackers, weigh the possibilities
Find that damned sword
And inches above my head
Hooves charging
Four new riders
Two by two
Riding to meet our pursuers
Each set of horsemen
Drawing blades
Made of pure fire
Lighting the night
To illuminate eight sets
Of wind swept wings

Mi mejor opción era empujar Louisa
Y sigue como ella rodar por una empinada colina pequeña
Para una pequeña alcoba, apenas más allá de una tumba
Una ironía que pasó poco tiempo teniendo en cuenta
Cuando llegué a dibujar mi acero
Y lo encontró ido
Y sin embargo, me asomé la cabeza por encima de la pequeña subida
Para ver nuestros atacantes, sopesar las posibilidades
Encuentra la espada maldita
Y pulgadas por encima de mi cabeza
Enganches de carga
Cuatro nuevos pilotos
Dos por dos
Montar a conocer a nuestros perseguidores
Cada grupo de jinetes
Dibujo cuchillas
Hecho de puro fuego
La iluminación de la noche
Para iluminar ocho conjuntos
De las alas del viento barrió

  1. wonderfully imaginitive and so well written...good idea to include the explanation at the beggining so that someone visiting for the first time can understand what this series of poems is about.

    With this poem you really created a feeling of suspense, I felt anxious for your hero and his young companion...I hope the riders with wings shall not get them....great writing.
