Opposite the Way of the Wind

The autumn breeze does resent her silence.

The coming air is too cold and too dry,

For when she refused to accept it, hence

Thinking she could go alone without it, why?

She's pushed away the wind's soothing embrace,

Taking steps to the cost of her own will.

Treading across the Gobi desert waste

There she walks hungry searching for a meal,

Blocking the sun with the hood of her veil,

Forgetting the reason why she is here.

Tir'd and lost, looking for the holy grail

No one near, nothing near, who holds her dear

Because everyone she has known to now

Only gaze at her with a deep cold, scowl.
