Lorenael sent me a message a while back with a poem he had written in memory of the elf maiden, Heliara. He asked if I could write music to accompany his poem, and also stated that it was the first poem he had ever written. I was amazed that this was his first poem… it certainly should not be his last, as it is quite beautiful!
Here is the song… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8OMm3OxtVM
and the poem…
Is she real or merely a dream?
Words tumble sweetly from her lips
tasty tart with a bit of cream
Voice of nature soothing me.
Who is that stunning ray of light?
Dress and skin of similar hue
blend together ever so bright
Alas, a fairer maiden not before seen.
What path hath brought you into my life?
Captivating harp whispers in my ear
sit friend and listen, calm your strife
Elegant fingers caress the strings.
Where have you come from, far away?
Ebb and flow of emotional waves
song culminates to my deep dismay
Breathtaking smile irresistibly beckons.
When will I see you again, any time soon?
A twinkle in her eye, a nod of her head
watch for the moment most opportune
We could not know that would be the last meet.
Why doesn’t my mourning cease for thee?
Memories abound solemn, deep, and rich
transport my soul to you beyond the sea
Gone now is she, but everlasting in my dreams.
~ Lorenael the Forlorn
