Quest deserter, snowy sands
Rocks and brown fern dens
I take my horse to outer brooke
And strike down hostile friends.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Travel over sunset birch
You'll find a jewel inside
It shines like dew in summer rain
A beauty worthy of pride.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Never return to whence you where
It disappeared in mist
Tangled through hallowed crystal smoke
Falcon feather-flies over abyss.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Quill penned a dangerous artifact
Buried delicate alone
It told a story of wandered bells
Trapped in squandered stone.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I climbed up starlight cliffside days
Mysteriously viewed
They hid their warmly kindred sneers
In palace solitude.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Broker no thoughts in market red
As mountains scream goodbye
They tell me tales of lilies sweet
And inked a knowing lie.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Daisies sobered haunting grounds
Seven feet of truth
These men wrote books of evening moon
In icy earthen youth.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Fate brought me wounded back to sun
You had yourself in mine
Destiny was I in utter strength
My knowledge crossed no line.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Down myself in hardened cries
Sink forward in storming cloud
For I was only here to wait
They buried me in silken shroud.
