Musings: She Is Trapped Who Fears Her Guardian

She is trapped who fears her Guardian
Guarding her by day or night;
In its vigil always pinioned,
Fearing when the Guardian smites.
~Come ye now, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

Force to match a thousand regiments
Seething in her fear-drowned ice;
Force that brings a thousand detriments,
Freezing kin before her eyes.
~Come ye now, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

She heeds not her other Sentinel
Calling from the other side;
From the side of fun and festival
From a younger, brighter tide.
~Come ye now, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

Will to shake the earth unshakeable
Reaching out to her alone;
Will to brave the fells unbreakable
Reaching out to guide her home.
~Come ye now, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

One is power, cold and wonderful,
Gifted to a golden dell;
One is wonder, warm and powerful,
Gifted from a glacial well.
~Come ye now, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

Shine on, Sentinel, meet your destiny,
Shine on life and shine on death;
Shine, and so restore your finity,
Time cannot yet steal your breath.
~You are come, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

Open, Guardian, pained and penitent,
Open your cold door and see;
Far away, the spirit reticent
Hath in store far more for ye.
~You are come, across the veil;
~See what love there does entail.

Goodness this drawing is old. And still crappy. But it is the retroactive inspiration for this poem.

As a side note, without Frozen II, there is no way I could ever have found the words for this poem. So even though it’s a movie with a giant plot hole, points for allowing some crazy worldbuilding. It’s the epic-ness of the movie’s tone, which I’ve probably talked about before.
