The Blood Blade

it was the time the moist mist parted,
the mother tree emerald with light
it was the time the blue bird blazed
a plumed display to dazzle my eye
it was the time the pearls whispered
to swim in waves beyond my play
it was the time the elder shared
her warmest smile, her eyes so pale
it was the time my sisters adorned my skin
in red earth, their hands gentle and cunning
it was the time alone in the heart I heard
myself alive, the forest breathing
it was the time the shadow came,
danced the blood blade within my secret cave
it was the time one became two became one,
within the root I found my warmest smile seeded
the mother tree emerald with light
it was the time the blue bird blazed
a plumed display to dazzle my eye
it was the time the pearls whispered
to swim in waves beyond my play
it was the time the elder shared
her warmest smile, her eyes so pale
it was the time my sisters adorned my skin
in red earth, their hands gentle and cunning
it was the time alone in the heart I heard
myself alive, the forest breathing
it was the time the shadow came,
danced the blood blade within my secret cave
it was the time one became two became one,
within the root I found my warmest smile seeded
