deep in the heart of autumn
were silent spaces for fifty
of the ones that need no name
from this celestial bough
all but one did fall into
the pitiless fires of reach
a soldier's ignominy
to have dreamt while brothers bled
but oh, for the rest of us
his shame was our salvation
- unknown author, late 26th century

Covenant Writ of Union, Canto 1 (from the Halo 2 Soundtrack booklet)
So full of hate were our eyes
That none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead
But never victory
So let us cast arms aside
And like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path
High Council of Concordance,
First Age of Reconciliation

I have walked among men and angels for three thousand years. Time has no end... no beginning... no purpose.
I wander the earth, seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God and man.
I live to see death, destruction, over the light, but the light cannot be extinguished.
I live in a prison of my own demise.
I am lost in time... (repeats)
-unknown (Gravemind?)

I have bit of a speculation on these poems, but i want you all to go first. Please don't flame on me, if you don't like this thread or this is a old news then just leave. But if you do find something interesting, please post it in here. And yea you can also insert any Halo related stuff into this thread. If this thread is a Bomb (lol) no problem i can save my little (maybe useless) speculation to my self. So Speculate away....Including Cortana's Letters.
