    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
