The Sound of a Glinting Blade |
| I heard the Forest sing |
| Songs of my youth |
| I’d never felt such pain before |
| You held my hand that day |
| You were my Sun before the dawn |
| The darkened morning I have loved so long |
| I don’t recall that day |
| And I never thought of you when I cried |
| You know the place |
| And I never wondered why |
| Where memory sleeps and secrets hide |
| You left so suddenly |
| Silence fills this place |
| Naught but a memory of your embrace |
| You, servile and sweet |
| Soft as the sediment beneath our feet |
| Far beyond the trees |
| We roamed |
| Yet, now, I plead: |
| Recall the plans we made |
| Dreams once so bold |
| The jealous Sun stood still and cold |
| What now has time revealed? |
| A tepid pool of youth misspent |
| A faded tapestry of dreams undreamt |
| Strange, how you recount |
| Wanton days, blissful nights |
| Strange, as it seems |
| There was suffering |
| And pain you never knew |
| How could you? |
| Do not welcome Death |
| He offers no peace |
| For even in death |
| We will know the pains |
| We have left behind |
| Far beyond the trees |
| I long to be |
| A deeper stream |
| Free from |
| Flows endlessly |
| Your incessant dream |
| Toward my dream |
