At the monastery
everyone had taken their position.
They had to resist
even though the Knight was not with them.
They ought to give him time.
They had overcome their hesitations
they still remembered the wounds of the past
since even the icons
carried them upon them.
Because there were numerous shadows
which always had the same aim.
However now, the monks and the nuns
had realized that this attack
did not resemble any previous ones.
The shadows did not merely want
to wound the monastery
they wanted to devour its light.
They wanted to blow out all the candles.
From the forest came a strong wind
which seemed like the wind instrument.
The Knight would have come
by any means
even during the time of the battle
in order for the light not to be lost.
