By E. L. Hewitt — Stormborne Arts
Beneath the wind’s forgetting,
the sea keeps every name.
Two tides meet in silence,
each the other’s flame.
The moon pulls what was broken,
the shore recalls the pain.
Those who walk between them
are never quite the same.
For memory runs in water,
and truth sleeps in the deep .
wake not the storm’s reflection,
lest it wake what should not weep.
Rest your weary head, sweet child,
For our lord and his men stand guard.
Fear not the shadows, hush your mind
They hold the dark ones far behind.
Sleep now, my boy, for dawn draws near,
The Day of Selection is almost here.
When the High Lord walks among the brave,
To choose the ones with hearts unshaved.
Rise, my child, today you train,
Chosen by the Warlord through ash and rain.
He sees in you a warrior’s light
So heed no fear, for he brings no fright.
He is kind, though forged in fire,
A stormborne soul who lifts you higher.
Stand tall, young one, your time is come—
To walk the path, to beat the drum.
StormborneLore is a personal, creative project not a business. It was born from my love of myth, history, and storytelling… and it gives me a way to express myself despite the challenges I face day to day.
I live with disabilities. I currently receive PIP and LCWRA, which help cover my basic needs. I don’t make any money from this site nor do I expect to in the immediate future.
But what I do get… is purpose.
Creating these stories, poems, and legends takes time, effort, research, and heart. And the best way you can support me right now isn’t with money it’s with likes, shares, comments, and follows.
🕯️ Every Click Makes a Difference
Your engagement whether that’s a like on a post, a follow, or simply sharing my work with others helps me see that what I’m doing matters. It shows me someone is reading. That this world I’m building is seen.
So if you’ve ever:
Liked a story or poem
Shared a link with a friend
Left a comment
Subscribed to the blog
…just know: you’ve already supported me more than you realise.
🔮 Looking Ahead
I may eventually add a small donation button (like Buy Me a Coffee) to help with
Site and hosting costs
Basic tools like a printer or laptop
Saving for long-term essentials (not luxury just stability)
If or when that happens, I’ll be completely transparent and I’ll always keep the content free and accessible to all.
✍️ Why This Matters
StormborneLore is my way of contributing something real. I can’t always work in the traditional sense. But I can create. I can write. And with your help, I can keep going.Thank you for reading. Thank you for being here.
