The Girl, Past and Present...and Future
She kissed the sun when she was happy
And touched the rain that fell when she was sad
Each ray of sun, each drop of water
Created subtle shades of magic in her life
As she wondered…
“Why does the sun represent happiness,
And the rain sadness?”
She yearned for someone stronger, more spiritual
And still she yearns for that man
She has yet to meet him and make her dreams a reality
When she looks at herself, she questions her soul
“Who am I? What do I really want?”
The echoes of a darker time from her past
Consuming and shadowing any sense of hope
But she has come so far in life, grown and learned
And still there
I was born from a glimmer
Of ashes and dust
Each time I die
I am born again
I am made of fire and strength
And I have no doubts
I know what I want
Soaring, rushing, against the wind
You might remember
How I rose to stand tall again
Each time others knocked me down
How my brilliant red plumage
Sparked against the flames
This world is peaceful yet wild
There are many things
Still unknown to me
Once I fade from life
I re-emerge
I’m the woman you can’t forget
I’m the woman who’ll love you
Each time I’m reborn
An old castle looms over a cliff
The ocean hungry
The sky grey and thick with clouds
The crackle of lightning
The echoes of thunder
That seem to frighten the ravens
Who caw and circle in a flock ominously
The hall once lively with music and dance
Is dull, the very walls still absorbed
With the memories of winters past
The marble floors are cold
No shoes tapping against their surface
A woman's long skirt
Will never trail up and down
The curving grand staircase ever again
He remembers how her soft, fair hand
Trailed along the balustrade
As she descended the stairs one evening
He remembers how they kept each other warm
