Faeries

I watch and wait
Sitting on the bank
Of the deep green pond
Humming a soft song

The pearls in my body
Begin to set
Now I know
There’s nothing to fret

My mind was a bedlam
My heart askew
Now all is silent
Now I shan’t move

I trail my hands
Along your face
The silhouette of my love
Taking me to that place

You were lost
But now are found
And now my mind
Is safe and sound

The fairies laugh
The lambs doth cry
Because I’ve come
To weep a goodbye

But thou shalt not weep
Not over me
For I am not lost
On the deep dark sea

Not on earth
Not in heaven
But somewhere out there
Where I can hold him again
