A Pirates Fairwell

[Li Wildtimbers]

A friend wrote this for two fallen pirates who were great friends to all. They asked that I share it here


A Pirates Fairwell

It starts with a cutlass, and by cannonade,
By sword and by cannon a pirate is made,
The adventure begins on Tortuga Isle,
With Captain Jack Sparrow, a wink, and a smile,
As each quest is completed you grow more notorious,
In search of a future where you stand victorious.
Onto these seas, to the ocean so blue,
Sailed Whisper of Shadows and Sir Steven too.
Many's a night this pair took to the sea,
Accompanied by the Pixie Pyrates and me.
Oh the friends they had made, the battles they'd won,
Their light would forever shine bright as the sun.
Both Pixies, both Pyrates, both men pure of heart,
Upon the high seas they were rarely apart.
Hard pressed you would be to ever find,
Two pirates more faithful, funny, and kind.
But weep now my friends, for it was not meant to be,
For Shadow and Steven to remain on the sea.
Our Whisper of Shadows we lost back in May,
In his beloved Caribbean he just couldn't stay.
His loss was devestating for his friends to bear,
Yet now Sir Steven has joined Shadow there....
Out at Worlds End where we cannot go,
To that place that none living ever will know.
Now out on the waves, across forbidden sead,
They sail on to ne'er return to Pixies.
