You spoke to me
Of the lost times, your fading memories
Whispered to me
The meaning of existence
Why are we different, you and I?
Yet so similar in more ways then one
You know things that many cannot fathom
And I knew only the simple pleasures of life
Me being only a child
Free to go my way
To dance among the rain
And to dream about the moon
I gazed into your eyes that day
And found eternity
Knowledge that I grew to comprehend
And I found love for me, for my family, for life
Sometimes you didn't have an answer
Yet I knew you could tell me
Sometimes you did have an answer
And told me a tale
I dreamed of riding to the gods
On a feather-winged horse
To find the answer to the question
"Why do the stars and moon exist?"
I grew to be a woman
Rebellious and stubborn in my ways
All I wanted was freedom
Yet there was always the kingdom to consider
I've forgotten your tales
I wonder again, why you told them
Were they for fun or for a lesson to be learnt?
Because I still am a child at heart
You now speak to me
Of the lost times, your fading memories
Whispered to me
The meaning of my existence
Why are we so different, you and I?
Yet so similar in more ways then one
You and I know things that many cannot fathom
And I no longer only enjoy the simple pleasures of life, but all of them
I am free to go my way
To dance among the rain again
And to still dream about the moon
To enjoy the times before
Gazing into your eyes today
I still find eternity
Knowledge that I can comprehend
And a love for me, for my family, and for the life you lived
Sitting by the hearth
Looking out the window
I turn to you and ask again
"Why do the moon and stars exist?"
