Nymph

Like a nymph walking through the woods, She glides soundlessly through the trees, Remembering their lost childhoods, She lifts her face to feel the breeze, And soft leaves crunch under her feet; She glides soundlessly through the trees, Her head moves in tune with the tweet, Obscuring her tears as they fall, And soft leaves crunch under her feet, Around her heart, she's built a wall, Which crumbles here amidst the leaves, Obscuring her tears as they fall, Her soul heavy, their deaths she grieves, In silence, mourning for their love, Which crumbles here amidst the leaves, She knows they're watching from above, Like a nymph walking through the woods, In silence, mourning for their love, Remembering their lost childhoods.

You maintained the tenor of your poem throughout, Jo. Brilliantly done in this difficult to execute form.
