The Thief in the Wood
The Vesper Step
I found a gem inside the wood,
A ruby heart of shining light.
I knew that it was very good,
To guide me through the dark of night.
I held it close to hear the rhythm beat,
A sound that made my life feel so complete.
It whispered words of love into my ear,
And told me I had nothing left to fear.
But now the object burns into my palm,
It steals the lifeblood from my face,
Destroying all the calm,
Without a trace,
Gone.
