Touch the Water
Touch the Water

By Laura L.

The watchman waits;

the world is dying, and he cannot see.

His eyes are full of sails.

If I could weep.

If I could weep.

Wake me from sleep.

My lady, my long life

has been a dream of golden longings,

and it is fading.

Earth, I am your daughter.

Woods, I am our daughter,

and I touch the water.

The ships are waiting.

My people, how could I think of staying?

Watchman, I fear so.

The magic is gone.

The magic is done.

I've forgotten the song.
