Cool Green gather
to my will;
wind-song stir
the singing leaf.
Branches white
with earth-born might
shield this child
from red-eyed grief.
Burning moon--
weep silver tears,
fill Elvin hands
with quickened fire.
Purify all desecration.
let this heart
become your pyre
Cold moon fire,
bright as life
warm earth-strength
deep as time,
merge in me,
a common flame
need compels you
to combine
ignite me with
this simple rhyme
wheel of time--
stars of chance
Awaken now
within the dance--
release your hold
upon this shore
That destined winds
may sweep me through
the threshold
of an unseen door--
Fair Avalon
I cannot linger
where beauty
can never fade,
for love's pain
here, is eternal
I cannot abide
your gentle chains.
I exile
my expectations
and doom myself
to iron's thrall
I'll walk the human
world once more
where dying leaves
know how to fall.
Love your verses.

it sound like music and the tale is none the less beautiful
