Between the great things we cannot do and the small things we will not do,
the danger is that we shall do nothing.........Adolph Monod
DOWN THE TURRET STAIRS
By darkness, of the moonlight, she crept down turret stairs
Dared not to hold a candle, least, someone come aware
She held her breath, and waited, and prayed a lover's prayer
An alliance draped in danger, their forbidden love affair
She saw his metal glisten, before she felt his touch
He clutched her tightly to him, this man she loved so much
No whispers were exchanged, they spoke through lover's souls
As tears cascaded from their eyes, and they forfeit all control
Hours pass as moments, when the parted once more can touch
Damning every consequence and trusting in their luck
Their union sealed in darkness, upon the turret stair
By witness of the moonlight, their blessed love declared
