Emerald Heart
Long ago you were my friend
I knew nothing of your hidden past
Yet I accepted you when no one else would
I thought our friendship would always last
That was when we were young
Innocence and wide eyed
"I'll always be with you," you promised
Never would I have thought that you lied
On that day which I will never forget
I realized it was not meant to be
Your destiny was of greatness
While I will always be boring old me
So you left me there
How much I wanted to say
But all I could muster was a weak "Good bye"
And "May you one day travel back this way."
I gave you but one song to play
Upon your instrument so sweet
To forever remember me by
And hopefully our hearts will someday meet

Song of A Maiden
The young woman with the flaming hair
There the pretty maiden stands
Alone in a vast moonlight pasture
Working a horse's silky mane with her hands
The female works with gentle touches
As above bright stars twinkle in the dark sky
Here with her horse is where she is most at peace
While all of Hyrule in slumber blissfully lie
As her hands move rapidly so does her mind
To a place far beyond her father's fields and farm
She knows in her heart that is were her destiny rests
Where there abounds both success and terrible harm
The maid begins to sing to soothe the creature beneath her touch
And to also give solace to her trembling yearning soul
The woman's pretty voice echoes across the empty field
And at once she puts in all her effort as a whole
"Like a bird I will soar
Never will my spirit be caged
I fly high in the pail blue sky
For I have a future which has never aged
"Or I am like a lover's dream
I bounce among a young boy's mind
Always free to float about
And I'm so frisky that I'm hard to find
"And perhaps, better yet, I am a horse
Who sails across the grassy field
The one with the feet of blazing speed
Who is swift and will never yield
"But I am always that first ray of shine
The gleam that rises with the morning sun
I am the hope of a bright new day
And I am certain to leave only when done."
And as the maid's song comes to an end
Her heart is filled with a steady calm
She watches as the first rays of dawn creep into the sky
As her horse gently sighs under her palm

Mido's Rant
Sure he has bright blond hair
But it's always out of place
And maybe he can melt girls with his stare
But only a mother could love that face!
I don't see what all the fuss is about
He is nothing but a foolish boy
And all the girls swoon when he walks by
Even Sara's heart fills with joy!
Maybe he is strong and trustworthy
Yet I know sometimes he is unsure too
And he can master his mighty sword
Yet he wears stockings white in hue
All the creatures believe in his protection
What do they see?
They call him the Hero of Time
So does even the Deku Tree
He may be the destined one
However, he still is just a child
He might have a soul of wit and courage
However, he is never mild
He has tamed so many hearts
With just one swipe of his sword!
Is it my imagination,
Or did Zelda just call him 'my lord'?
O how I hate him
The young man named Link
Such a pretty boy, a big fool
At least that is what I think!

The Death of The Protector
I am aware of how my strength has been depleted
I realize now my own dark unforgiving fate
I bare witness as my coarse bark grays
Even as I speak, my body is being consumed by hate
I feel consternation in my own large heart
Though it is not my self who I am concerned for
But my Children; my innocent charges
I will soon not be their Protector anymore
My mind is lost
My mind is dying
What will happen to the Kokiri?
How will I protect them from The False and The Lying?
So many questions yet to contemplate
And so little time to contemplate them
The precious Forest kin will be vulnerable
The evil ones will pour out from Hyrule's hem
And yet there may still be a burning hope
Yes! I can plant a Deku Tree seed!
And it will become The New Protector
My son will guard away all hate and greed
Now it is my time to depart from this Forest
My last leaf has surrendered as I die
Though my spirit is floating towards the heavens
My large stiff body, in this clearing, will always lie
I go on with the hope for my Children
I give forth the Forest's Spiritual Stone
The Kokiri will live for they are honest and true
And in the soil the Deku Sprout I have sown
