From the #east to the west , in a test for the best ,
He revealed himself valiantly, stood out from the rest.
The beast from the east , with a heart full of zest.
Proudly beat his chest for he was possibly the best
With eyes like blazing Suns and a roar of thunder , he faced every quest , tearing obstacles asunder .
His stride was a storm , his spirit a wonder
No challenge too great , no time for a blunder
Without a bleat , with a spirit so blessed ,
He came , he saw, and hopefully conquered the crest
Mountains bowed down , rivers changed their course
For he was the beast , an unstoppable force
But as the dust settled , and the echoes grew faint , he looked around and felt a strange constraint
For in his quest to conquer, to be the best
He realized he had lost what mattered most – his quest
In the silence that followed , he heard his hearts plea,
A whisper of doubt , a longing to free
The victories felt hollow , the triumphs a jest
For the beast from the east was now a guest
He pondered his journey, the battles he’d fought, the glory he’d sought the lessons they taught
Was it worth all the pain , the loneliness , the test ?
He questioned his path , his purpose , his quest
1
In the mirror of his soul , he saw a man , not a beast ,
A heart that yearned for peace , for love , for release
He had conquered the world but at what cost ?
In the end , he found himself
But felt he was lost
Yet in that moment of doubt
A new light did gleam
A spark of hope , a rekindled dream
For realized his journey was not yet complete
A new path awaited , a new challenge to meet
With renewed purpose , he rose from the dust
Embracing his future , with hope and trust
For the beast from the east ,
Now a man with a quest ,
Would find his true path and give it his best
He chose a path of wisdom and kindness and grace
To heal the worlds wounds
to uplift humanity
No longer a conqueror, but a guardian light
He vowed to protect ,
To do what was right
He travelled the lands
Spreading peace and cheer
Helping those in need
Erasing their fear
With every step forward
His heart more whole
For he had found his true calling
His soul’s deepest goal
2
No longer alone
He walked with the rest
A leader , A friend , A man truly blessed
The beast from the east had found his true place
In the hearts of the people with love and grace
On his journey , he met a child with a dream
Eyes full of wonder , a spirit that gleamed
He taught her to believe
To reach for the stars
To find her own path no matter how far
He encountered a warrior , weary and worn
Together they heated their spirits reborn
They shared tales of battles of losses and gains
An elder he met wise and serene who showed him the beauty in all that is seen
Through stories and laughter
They bridged the gulf
And he learned that true strength comes from inside
In the villages and cities , in forests and plains,
He spread seeds of kindness , easing their pains
For he had found his purpose ,
His guiding light
And so, he continued , with love in his chest,
The beast from the east , now truly blessed
For he had discovered , through trials and quest,
That the greatest victory is to love and be loved,
And to give life your best
Yet within his heart , a storm still brewed
A battle unseen , a conflict renewed
For every act of kindness, a shadow would rise
A whisper of doubt , a fear in disguise
3
He questioned his worth, his right to this peace
Could a beast truly change
Could his past ever cease ?
The echoes of battles , the cries of the lost ,
Haunted his dreams, lingering cost
But in the darkest of nights a voice would appear
Soft and gentle , dispelling his fear
“You are more than your past,
more than your pain , you are the light that follows the rain”
With each dawn that broke , his resolve grew strong,
He embraced his journey , where he truly belonged
For the beast from the east
Now a man of quest
Had found his true path and gave it his #best
