The soft sound
is in the air
It's floats around
and through your hair
It's beauty is only
Known by those
Who give it home
And knows
I hear it in the
Trees and world
From all corners of
The earth unfirled
Only those who
Listen to it can
See see the world
As created by man
I wrote this poem for my boyfriend Ryan.
When tall trees with autumn leaves danced
And through the leaves fall faeries pranced
The streams were lined with pillars of fire
And the air was crisp like the song from a lyre
Animals prepared for winter and scurried about
One young maiden made the journey south
It had been a long journey from her home
And in this strange land she found herself alone
Each night she would sit and worry about
Why she had left her home with so much doubt
The world seemed so dreadful and dire
Without some one to guard and guide her
The maiden tried to hide her fear
She would not shiver nor shed a tear
She would take long, lonely walks by herself
In hopes of hiding from the world itself
Until she met a man whose heart was kind
And she could not push his thought from her mind
When their eyes met, he'd smile sweetly
And the maiden would return his smile discreetly
She could not escape his charm and allure
Although, of her emotions, she was still unsure
But because of his patience and understanding
It was not long before they began courting
The maiden felt as if she was in a dream
And though she tried she could not help but beam
They took long walks under the clear night sky
And the moon and stars watched from on high
And though the maiden had been quite wary
She was now happy that her life had turned merry
For months together did they stay
Each and every moment, and from day to day
Their romance was like a fairytale come true
And changed their lives, making them anew
And as time passed with the sun and moon above
The maiden found herself falling deeply in love
The seasons changed and the summer was coming
And in her head, thoughts of her love were drumming
But the maiden knew they would soon have to part
And she tried her best to hide it from her heart
She could not live her life without his presence
So to her love she made a promise
The maiden swore she'd wait for his return
And in her heart her love would burn
She would never let his memory fade
Nor would she ever let him be betrayed
And for him she would remain pure
No matter how long she would have to endure
