    Rome's Massive Grave (Second Half)

     Rome's Massive Grave (Second Half)

    There was a force of good that stood by our sides, a strong peace it provides, good would prevail
    The deepest solitude has hailed us from above the restless spirits that part sending rhythmic  rolls 
    of absent hearts lost imprisoned essence decline, a hope has defined
    We could not grasp the nature of this ghost, was he dangerous, he seemed to radiate light in our presence
    The Catacombs would omit a solemn rise of mist, its murky rise would sway and twist, the darkness looms
    The cries of the dead encircle our head, now feeding on our fear, the host becomes clear.
    Division of rooms and marks of ossuary gloom parted the ancient evil and good, deepest darkness chilled
    While white light streamed from the good and shook the earthen floor. As we seek a Ghost begins to speak:
    "My sons were lost on the battlefield, their souls are near, countless centuries I've felt their search in lost 
    Foreboding tears; help us unite, to bring us together, to pace these halls of solitude, to bring an end. 
    The agony of separation that sadly concludes." 
    Quite taken by the Ghostly plea, it was a union that would set him and his family free. So onward we searched
    The ghost now follows from above to find the sons he dearly loved.  This ghost was a precious light fed by the
     love he carried for his sons, he was a beacon throughout the centuries; but, there was an endless maze that 
    Swallowed his glow, he leads us to a spot no further could he go, an amber stone was placed around our throat,
    A trinket to keep us safe, when Five images appear and rose above their essence clear, now free to greet
    Father of an ancient past, the family is united, at last, freedom has cleared the air safe and sound,  peace now rebounds,
    Now we walk away from a tomb that holds the light of eternity where love now displays,  Rome's Massive Grave
    Which has freed the battles;  slaves?

    Perfect second part. I read it twice and then scanned a few different parts, as the question at the end interested me greatly. Made me think that even slaves were gladiators, so whom filled this grave? Great job Allseasonsverse

    My Friend, The Catacombs were available to those who could not afford land, also many other walks of life as well, in my story It was a separation of the family of soldiers that enslaved them in death when united they no longer were slaves to separation, thus freedom Regained in unity released them from their plight. Thank you for your comments, your insight is helpful and Appreciated. Allseasonsverse
