Maidens Lament
Maiden's Lament
Rewinding the memories of angst lost, broken
Our souls make solemn demands against our hearts
Thoughts uneasy, shattered, remembering time's lies
Deliver us, reluctant, unto today's reckoning revealed
Believing yet another, today's promise is unspoken
Love and solace abound in time of yesterday's pain
Maiden enthralled within, peace is found upon the mist
Innocence remains for the chosen, pain forbidden now
Living through the windows of tomorrow, pathways ascending
Dreams realized within her heart, a oneness is embraced
Joys released without hesitation, spirits renewed forever
Beauty and enchantment unrehearsed, life's danger's forgotten
