So I wrote a poem and decided I wanted to make it into a video and narrate it. I hope you like this, it's very different to anything I've done before!
Merlin's Lament (by @imaginedragonlords)
Ever round Avalon’s misted isle,
A stranger walks a sorrowed mile.
In silent grief, he mourns and sighs,
For a memory that never dies.
His spells now falter, lost in air,
No charm to ease the deep despair.
For what is magic, wild and grand,
Without the touch of Arthur’s hand?
And so, he stands where Courage fell,
A silent, ageless sentinel,
Whispering words he left unsaid,
To a king who sleeps among the dead.
For a fleeting moment, years unfold,
Rusted ruins turn to gold:
He sees that sword once cased in stone,
The hand that held it, turned to bone.
Yet, in his mind, the grip holds firm,
Untethered from the passing term,
A bond as steadfast as his will,
Unyielding, constant, ever still.
So, there he waits, a lonely sage,
Trapped within an endless age,
Till fate, in mercy, bends the chain,
And brings them face to face again.

Absolutely beautiful

Your poem is absolutely beautiful ❤ 😭 Gorgeous vid as always

to be honest, for hours I put off watching this clip and hearing your poem for fear it might reduce me to a puddle [again]. looking at the thumbnail already changed my brain chemistry in an instant. Colin as Merlin still has that power after all those years. then I mustered up the courage and was pleasantly surprised. thankfully, you found a way to let it end on a promising note of hope: 'Till fate, in mercy, bends the chain, And brings them face to face again.'' that saved the day. thank you very much. 🤟👍

Here I am, sobbing. This is perfect. I love your voice, and the rhythm, and how you matched the clips with the lines, all the while using my favourite soundtrack from Merlin

Omg firstly your voice is gorgeous. The edit matches your poem perfectly, and your poem is absolutely gorgeous!!! Maybe you should just become a full time poet. "Till fate, in mercy, bends the chain, And brings them face to face again." I MEAN WHY ARE YOU NOT A POET??? These lines 🥰

Haha maybe I should write a merlin-inspired poetry anthology... maybe some fanartists will collaborate with me...

''Till fate, in mercy, bends the chain, And brings them face to face again.'' From the very beginning, your poem bears its own music. The magic of poetry. I am grateful you share it with us. Congratulations.

Magic lost Strength and Courage at the same time.

i've been killed, thank you (i had to silence my sobbing because i'm on a train but this made me super emotional)

This is amazing! Ugh so sad, so beautiful. Also, I have no idea if anyone has told you this, but you sound like Emma Watson. This is just so perfect!

@ImagineDragonlords Ай бұрын

Haha, a couple of people have said our voices are similar yes. I guess just generic southern British woman + reading poem is a very Emma Watson combination 😜 Thank you so much! ❤

Oh my god I love this! This is so creative and works so well for the series! I absolutely love how it expresses how Merlin is in the present day so many years after Arthur, remembering back to him. Also the callback to Arthur being Courage was great and I love how you introduced the music at the end (that's my favourite piece from Merlin)!
