Our Lady















She screamed at the sky and wailed at the stars 
Her sobbing was heard on Venus and Mars.
The griffin sat silent, the sphinx had a grin 
But the phoenix had risen and taken her in.

To the land of the desperate, the land without song
Her guides and her watchers now took her along
To meet with the king, the king of all things
Who might grant her release from this prison of hurt.

The king heard her scream and her wail of despair 
He looked into her soul and decided to spare 
Her fate at the hands of the sphinx and the griffin
And release her again to the land of the living.

Our Lady was freed and made her way home
But the King drew his debt, the world she would roam.
In search of a lover she wandered the land
An impossible love, never to find.

Her legend lived long her story eternal
Of forgiveness and love and creatures infernal
They say she still wanders the world on her quest 
As wind in the barley, as love in the dust.
