Rising From The Ashes Listen ye, I've a story to tell In the land of Fantasy, the days of olde Entering the Realm, a lone woman named, "DarkMistress" Left to live amongst the wars and distress She stormed the Realm and embraced the dark souls The Dark Beauty, many hearts she soon stole The forgotten children, she would raise Within her heart and eyes a fire was ablaze A song upon her lips, she sang and danced through the Realm Ducking playfully behind the old elm And her hands would raise to the sky She conjoured the magick to make the nigh' dance, oh Aye, The children's eyes would light From the darkness would dance a Pixie or Sprite Her voice would speak gently seeing their fright "Nay little ones, fear not the nigh' " " 'Tis magickal, can ye not see?" "Let ye dreams grow, let them free" "Use the nigh' to protect ye little souls" "Use the dark to hide from the cold" Many claimed her as "Mother" She taught the Demons and Angels to live amongst each other She raised many that were not her own She offered them her love and a home War soon ravaged the land Brother against brother they would stand Forcing her to turn her back on the home she loved Fleeing for safety when she was shoved She would have given her life for many of the souls within the Realm And many died within her arms when the Realm fell Husbands, Fiances, Friends, Daughters and Sons So much destruction, she could not protect the lil ones Some say she shattered, others say she went crazy This is where the fable grew rather hazy She disappeared for nigh' on 15 years And returned with a new husband, and the children she bears She looks on now at the sky cloudy with the reminants of war Looking to the sky, ears listening for the familiar Dragons' roar She return now to a land that once held such beauty She will again try to fullfill her destiny and duty "Donnae fear the nigh' my child" " 'Tis only here for a little while" "Donnae fear the coming dark" " 'Tis a new adventure, unto embark..." Calling forth the light of the Gods, and the darkness of Hell She would teach the children the magick of the healing spell Healing and teaching with her aura of gold The little ones would watch the magick unfold "Donnae fear the nigh' because ye cannae' see" "The nigh' will set ye dreams and fantasies free" "Donnae fear the nigh' o'lil ones" "Fear not ye mother, my daughters and sons" "Embrace the dark, Embrace the nigh'" "Dream ye dream, watch them take flight" "And if ye ever begin to fear" "Reach out ye hand, for I'm always near" The DarkMistress....
