The Blue Queen and the Pond

A hand reaches down from above, to save me
I stand half in and half out of 
the black pool
but shore nor sand 
is me

May I be the lighthouse
to shed my brilliance o'er both
for now I am caught
torn, alone, and in no place
no other place

my eyes fly to a figure
this flowing blue spirit
queen of the dominion of the wood
and she is I
and I, her

She has found our home
though I will never know it
less the tearful glimpses of bliss
she, my spirit, wails to be apart
and I am powerless

for i can only live
in the worlds within my reach
my home is were I will never be
my hearts desire 
I know naught about
