Untold

my dear friend
by the time you read this message we will have completed our retreat
and these hallowed chambers will in all likelihood be overrun
i know that it is your way to fret but do not worry for us
by your efforts of long ago we were able to secure ourselves
against the scourge that now engulfs this world
it saddens me that our reunion must once more be delayed
but should we not emerge from this dark night
know that we faded peacefully content in the knowledge
that the echoes of our tread and voice still resonate
in humble grandwell now so far away
