The Ballad of Wendy and Me (part I)
She doth cast herself in marble
with countenance, demure
Hides an alabaster halo
hard, elusive, and obscure
She was born upon the mating
of the waters with the light
Then she cast her runes in darkness
brought the stars into the night
And her eyes replete with wisdom
she amasses many folds
While the field behind her bears the stain
where God destroyed her molds
Where leaves flutter in the wind song
with an urgency and thirst
They will echo of emotions
throbs a heart so near to burst
They serve only to remind one
of the calm that lies inside
Like the eye within tempest
cyclic changing of the tide
So a wind song echoes Wendy
in harmonious reply
to the crowing in of morning
and the suckling newborn cry
She announces her arrival
prim and pliant, breaks the fast
Somehow stoic and yet joyful
trims the sail and hoists the mast
For her diligence and virtue
she throws honor to the fore
sending blossoms of her verve
in beds of carpet on the floor
