Were you lost, then
Abandoned?
Were you left tied
And standing still
Did the seeds take root
Did they grow prosperous
From your own demise
And were you found once
By a ghostly soul
Running barefoot in the shade
And were you captured then
Alight within
Were you glowing to the brim
And were your shadows haunted
By a spirit or a sprite
Did hope grow there despite
The feelings gloom and dim
And were you celebrated
Were you cherished anyway
As she held you there forever
In her heart until this day
Were the past and future stunned
Did the moment steal your breath
Do you wonder can she feel you
Yet
So far away again
You can hear the answer
Can’t you
With the rustle through the leaves
She’s bound to come once more
There in the woods there by the glen
And touch you softly with her
Love and with her sin
