A Fair Maiden


A Fair Maiden 
 We look inside the wool sack left dangling in the wind
 To light the flame of what we have been searching for within
 She dances in a ring of fire yet throws off a challenge with a shrug
 Looking for deep reflections of sweet love from above
 While living in her plush castle among the allegiance
 She looks at nature with it's fallen embers of soft green colors
 Draws from the well of the sproutng spring along the river
 Sends a shiver down her spine of sublime intent
 Looks deep in her drawer for paper to write on
 Making music out of the sweet melodic chimes in her room
 Very carefree as her master sips on his port
 A garden was planted outside in the dusk
 Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plough
 Travels to the market square to buy dainties filled with perfume
 The songs that she sings sweet presence of lavender dew
 A court jester laughs as she sits in the abode of her study
 Making colors out of the sky seen by a fleeting passerby
 The king has summoned her presence to a far away palace
 Soon she may be selected as the honrable lady or queen
 By the ocean she sets her sights on the make believe
 Into a far off forest fr one heart willing to achieve
 A rainbow in the dark amidst it's timeless plight
 Forget the night it's a new chosen day by which to bow the knee to pray
 A heart very sweet in the nature of solace follows her touch
