Skeleton Woman |
Old bones don’t sleep |
Old bones don’t sleep |
Old bones don’t sleep |
They yearn to be once again dressed in the tears we weep |
She remembered the sun from the world long ago |
In the time before darkness and water |
She soon became bone from the fish and the foam |
In the fullness of time, we forgot her |
A fisherman’s line through a hole in the ice |
Caught this strangest of fish where she drifted |
Salvation came down from the world far above |
And the Skeleton Woman was lifted |
She buried her teeth in the hem of his coat |
As the fisherman tried to run past her |
In terror he fled through the deepening gloom |
With the rattle of bones chasing after |
He cowered all night through the wind’s longing howl |
From the monster he’d led to his home |
But dawn showed the man that the creature he feared |
Was twine all entangled in bone |
In pity he wept, and the tears trickled down |
From his eyes to the bones he regarded |
From their heat she wove life and a young woman’s form |
With a cry was her silence discarded |
After ages uncounted of patience and hope |
Was the Skeleton Woman rewarded |
