"Sacred Vow"
@Uootem
somewhere between the shadows of summer moon
with all its haunting reality
and starlit heavens of springtime past
with all its fanciful promise
stands a memory cloned vision
of what no eye has seen.
in between the crayon drenched etchings
of simple childhood dreams
and stone chiseled carvings
lies and enchanted fairy glade
where first love and beauty still dwell
where cherubs kiss the lips
of the silver asphodel
hidden in the secrets
the hiss of mystery must thrive
and by this promise only
my endeavor stays alive
on great horses we galloped
over hill and valley floor
holding on to voices
that echo in the winds of evermore
we took notice in the crimson sand
of children's footprints left in long ago hours
and as we took a closer look
we found that they were ours
soon we will journey to a distant isle
known a thousand-fold times before
and dance amidst the ancients
to songs of myth and lore
so as the ebb of day takes hold
and the moon begins to howl
by a trembling candlelight i write
and keep my sacred vow
like aspens in the wind of time
our hearts were blown astray
and now I can only hope and wish
to return again someday
