The Enchanted Elves have a plot where we have made a tribute to the Relay and Why we do it on that plot. The poem you will find on the signs on that sim is below in its entirety:
As I spoke to you and I heard your reply,
I saw, the barren forest in my frozen minds eye,
I placed a toe upon that path,
Determined to do the math,
The price for not walking the path was too high,
I placed my feet firmly on it and took that first step, bye and bye,
As I began my journey, O the pain, the suffering, the despair,
I spoke to you again, and you said, this would repair,
Hardly believing I saw the red hot lava, pain so unbearable, torturing me,
I said, let me be,
I saw a bridge and hastened up it,
And the desolate forest turned into day bidding me to rest a bit,
Sitting down, at last at peace, I thanked you,
And your reply, it is turned out as I had hoped, but sometimes it’s hard to have that clue,
As I sat and garnered strength, gathering my loved ones around,
Kissing, hugging, laughing, happiness abound,
Then I saw you, and you shook your head,
And said, its time for bed,
Glancing around I noticed others,
Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers,
Some sitting, standing, others wandering past, I stood,
Fearfully, I began to walk, the pain was back, I shuffled as fast as I could,
Past the water, I saw my rest,
Tears slid down my face, loved ones hugging me, I whispered, this is for the best,
No more pain and suffering, remember me,
And now let me be.
