Three angels

It started so young and so shy

First angel came into my life

The years went blissful tumbling by

After an angel I was wife

♦

I spun, wove, spread my wings to fly

Third angel with love made me rife

And you sit there wondering why

I cut my own wings with a knife

Neverlasting sorrow

O peace, welcome peace as I pick, piece myself together,

Not sorrow, nor joy, nor hatred ever last forever

The feelings are deep, intense but the mind oh so clever

Jolt it does through your system for all sad thoughts to sever

Quest

O sorrow do not in my heart dwell

O heart do not with such sadness swell

O pain I pray thee bid me farewell

O lips contain my stories to tell

♦

No morrows to fight or to rebel

No drama here, no Cain, no Abel

No grandness, no wisdom, no Nobel

No wonders no miracles to sell

♦

Let my life in stark light thus revel

Let my eyes those wonders not repel

Let my mind my spirit not compel

Let this quest my joyous heart not quell
