A bardic duet with Neil
@Banquozghost:
Call suffering
by another name
the scars I bear
will be the same
my tears will be
a river or the rain
my broken heart
will still know pain
@MercurialNight:
Within a crucible of pain
Shall your soul be born anew
A spirit once bowed
Unfolds
To spread wings wide
& rise again with hope
@Banquozghost:
O lift me, lift me up
sweet cloud of hope on high
I spurn the drag
of wretched earth
and soar to meet
the roof of sky
@MercurialNight:
O wretched land which birthed you then
Shall not its grip upon you loosen
None of man has she ever lost
None of man shall she
@Banquozghost:
Ah, sweet earth
that calls us all to rest.
Not yet, not yet!
Another stanza first
and this one shall be best!
@MercurialNight:
Such eloquence deserves a chance
To breathe again
To live
To dance
Just a moment more
Among the heavens
Afore I'm lost again
