I respect with calm of the stoic fool
agony of existence we endure
for passion of this body we inhabit
fuels our journey across waste land of fear
on endless quest to find the Promised Land
where we tend apple trees with cautious hands.

Stumbling home to small village of his birth,
Gubazes falls to his knees by the well
and gulps sweet water from bucket of oak
as friends and family gather around
to express shock at sight of his bruised face
till he lies gasping under apple tree.

Running from loom where she weaves tapestry
that depicts Jesus saving humankind,
his mother embraces him as she weeps,
then leads him to feasting hall by the hearth
where he drinks juice she pours into his cup,
and caresses his arm as he eats steak.

Ten years ago when I left with my father,
hauling wagons full of minerals we mined,
we were ambushed in narrow mountain pass
and though he fought with bravery he was killed,
and I was sold to slave as janitor
in court of Justinian in Byzantium.

Escaping maze of golden mirrored halls,
I fled into rugged mountain waste land
where Thustra, wizard dwelling in deep hell,
taught me how to forge metal into swords,
so I labored in cavern of illusions
transforming despair into beams of light.

While searching deep in labyrinth of gems
I found enormous egg of spottled stars,
so I warmed its heart with flames of the Earth,
and from its shell rose red dragon with eyes
that blaze bright gold as sun that gives us life
which leaped from my heart to destroy the world.

Weeping bitter tears for child of my heart,
whose life I nourished with blood of my soul,
I notched in bow I carved from taut Yew bough
arrow of justice tipped with gem of truth
and fired it straight into heart of my dragon
who fell wounded into my trembling arms.

Placing both hands on shoulders of her son,
Valeriana proclaims for all to hear,
God has appointed you, my noble son,
with power to unite our oppressed land,
so I crown you new King of Lazica
destined to lead our nation to victory.
