Echoes of the Bard


In the forrests of my life
I hear the echoes
of his song
a banner on the breeze
a loving lullabye
to someone distant
but not me.

I'd bind my hair
in daisy chains
tuck up my skirts
and race the forrest paths
barefoot before moonrise
I'l leap the streams
and level the hills
if some such one
sang for me!

Alone
and under the moonlight
his echo fading
as he pursues her
I feel no sadness
but pray
with panting breath
"wake up, girl! He's chasing
blindly! Sing in reply or lose him!"
and smile.

If he came this way again
alone and unclaimed
pity
oh pity
the stubborn and the proud
who's silence lost her all!
