The Minotaur and the Abbaye

Description

The Minotaur and the Abbaye

In the depths of shadows where echoes sigh,
The Minotaur roams beneath the abbey’s eye.
Stone walls whisper tales of lost, ancient lore,
Where beast and faith clash forevermore.

Monastic silence meets the beast’s heavy breath,
In halls where prayers once held off death.
Candles flicker, casting fleeting light,
On horns and hooves, the monster’s plight.

Gargoyles watch from parapets high,
Guardians of secrets that time lets lie.
Yet in the crypt’s cold, forgotten gloom,
The Minotaur waits, embraced by doom.

Beneath the vaulted arches tall,
He hears the chants, the midnight call.
A soul divided, beast and man,
Bound by curses, a celestial plan.

In the abbey’s heart, where shadows play,
He dreams of light, of a break of day.
But walls of stone and ancient spell,
Keep him in this twilight, where legends dwell.

An eternal dance of night and day,
The Minotaur within the abbey must stay.
A creature lost, in faith’s embrace,
Seeking redemption in a sacred place.
