The Legend of the Light

The legend begins before time begins In a far away land so beautiful and green; The child gushed out to the sunny world And was given the name Eileen! But the gal was not an ordinary child For she spoke poetry so supreme In that far away foreign land That was beautiful, vast, and green! Since then, the journey of words took off Writing to her became a daily routine; Places visited, people met, and life incidents All were summoned on papers agleam; She gave birth to visions beyond Any limits of time and sound That girl who was called Eileen! The spirits she evoked whenever she wrote Rejoiced her name in the holly ravine! The gal knew not she owns within her hands A power that runs like a stream, She poured her love to all who were around From when she was a preteen! But life was somehow severe and Compelled to change the scene; The young maiden travelled across the world Leaving hometown and forced to wean! Yet, the green fields she missed were revived In a lyric, a song, or a heart-aching scene; For the myth did engrave deep in the heart Of the gal named Queen Eileen, A light that surpasses any other light Just as her name does mean!! © Guru Jad 2013 * Dedicated to my Muse Eileen Ghali..
