Comment:
"A prayer and a promise,
under lock and key.
A precious secret held so dear.

Gold and Silver,
steeped in blood.
An oath taken before the Judge.
A sacred scripture tied to the soul,
carrying salvation for the lost.

Cloaked in ebony,
covered in jewels.
Beauty at the cost of something much greater.

Eternally walking a path toward Enlightenment.
Forever seeking."

Just like the title says, everything in this is symbolic.
It was one of those things I had to do, especially after getting the image in my head. It turned out nicely but of course the scan isn't so great. As for the poem, I wrote it up after I'd gotten everything detailed and finished. It likely doesn't make a lick of sense to anyone, but me, and that's just fine.

There really isn't much more to say about it other than it means a lot to me and I really don't want to get into explaining what everything means and why. Just enjoy for now~
