Lirael Poem #5 ( I stink at Chapter numbers!)
Lirael (I think I have done her before...whoops)
I have seen the Ninth Gate
I have seen my Star
I have heard its call
Into Death I've traveled far
It wasn't my time
It let me go
I still have much to do
I still have much to grow
I have yet to love
To sacrifice for someone I know
I have yet to taste despair
I've never gone that low
I've beaten Orannis back
And sealed it with the words
Will there be other dead?
Other Hedges? Other Chlorrs?
Or is it my time now?
Have I used my life
For the greater purpose?
Will there be other strife?
Does this world need me
Now that Orannis is gone?
Will I live to see
Another day? Another dawn?
Or will the river claim me
As its long-sought prize?
A wise person once told me
That every person dies
It is the way of life
The way the whole world turns
I will have no forgotten thoughts
No regrets and no concerns
When it is my time
I will go without a cry
Because I know everyone
Has a time to die
AFTERWARD:
Okay, fans. Here's the deal. I have been grounded indefinitely so I am mailing a floppy disk with my stories to my friend who will send them. So you will be getting stories in large clumps not like one every other day like I used to do it. Please bear with me. I cannot get reviews but if you want, review shukuchi's stuff and put a PS about me, she'll tell me it. Shukuchi is my friend who is sending the stuff. That is her account.
PS Read her stuff!!!
PPS Review her stuff
PPPS I love you all, even though I don't know you, getting reviews really brightens my otherwise normally depressive days. I will be able to check email occasionally so still review, kay?
Ciao!
