Arnica's Lament

Once upon a Mountainside

by Ch'erie


 

Once upon a mountainside
lived a mountain daisy
her name was Adelweiss
didnt take to any advice
plucked herself up from her roots
for folks that ne'er give two hoots
headed for bigger greater things
got caught in leviathan's strings

 

Alas to make it home
to end her senseless roam
is but the impossible feat
through the slow grinding heat
She's wilted to a weed
and in the greatest need
petals have all but gone
alas she's weeping lone
 

Once upon a Mountainside
lived a mountain daisy
who went a little hazy
some folks think she's crazy!
What do they really know
promises unkept
total no show
Rendered nothing but a lethal blow!

To pull your own self up by the roots is a bit daft, don't you think?

Very light a moving tale you have created. What is it they say? The grass is always greener...... Or so many think....

Be safe
