A Fair Maiden

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
