|
She steps over shadows the path by the castle |
|
Gold earrings and hair and the moon |
|
Dress like a sail it is billowing past her |
|
She's gone down to the wishing well |
|
Ships made of copper pennies and silver |
|
Have sailed just like wishes away |
|
The flowers that float past her face in the water |
|
Will wither and soon fade away |
|
Trees guard the moment when all is forgiven |
|
Light burst of blinding within |
|
The crickets are mute as she's floating past them |
|
Aurelia is sailing away |
|
She descends into |
|
Egypt in search of the treasure |
|
The brilliance that once was her own |
|
They clothed her in adamant which can crush iron |
|
And took from her the bright robe |
|
Straight to the serpent hard by his dwelling |
|
She waits for his slumber to cease |
|
Wearing their clothes lest they betray her |
|
Because she has come from afar |
|
Waiting in silence she senses the stranger |
|
Who dwells in the midst of the sea |
|
The visions inside her remind her of patterns |
|
Writ on her heart long ago |
