Once she danced

Once she danced

In a field of flowers

Finding deep inside her imagination

A place of sunshine

And of roses

Admist that barren world

Her soul held close

To a song of hope

Only she knew the words to

But over years

Hope grew it grew cold

As she watched

Like a spectre

What her world became

All around

Forces of darkness

Gathered

And so it was she fell

Into a place where the only dances

She danced

Where drunken frenzied ones

As her red shoes went wild

For lack of dreaming

And imagination

But God knows

As does the soul

That his kind of loss

Can only last so long

For we cannot live

With a fully opened heart

When we have lost our way

To our vision

And our song

And so it is that now

She knows

She must go

To a field where

The wild flowers grow

And plant her bare feet upon the soil

So that once again

Her soul can know

What it truly is

Her heart lives

And beats

And breathes

And aches for
