The Chariot

The curtain lifts, the mystery unfolding

Behind the scenes of a tale so old.

About a story as old as time, 

About a memory foretold by rhymes.


The air innocent like a slumbering child.

The grass as fresh as crystal river

The Chariot waits on a peaceful sleep

Longing for the Rider to claim his keep.


Alas! He came with the smiling eyes

His voice a whisper to her eager heart.

Intense as a thunder, as dark as the night,

As soft as a cloud, as gentle as the light.


He took the Chariot and ride the wind.

Fast and dangerous, yet so sweet.

Fate roars, but he held on tight

The Chariot on his arms, easing her fright.


And wept they did, for the path ahead

Rocks and thickets, full of threats.

"I'm cruel! I'm harsh!" the Future told,

But nothing could ever break

The Rider's hold!
