*sneaks in quietly*


I Wander Afar

Distant heart traveling ever alone
This time there would be no err made
Fluttering, hapless, light, like a feather blown
Fleeing from storm's might, dying without aid
So far have I traveled through and mar
Ever traveling, I wander afar

Like a fire burning out on hearthstone
Numbing, flickering and simmering down: afraid
Wasting away beneath sorrow's grindstone
Drifting away through a tear's cascade
All I'll have left is the scar
Ever broken, I wander afar

Should this tale be told of a star's building gravestone
A night dragon falling beneath her last crusade
Fearing nothing but what's insider her heart: the unknown
The thread held to sanity thread bare and frayed
Peering through the windows given to love ajar
Ever lonely, I wander afar

My wings carry me from home and heart in sadness' cyclone
Moving closer, tense, then evade
Taking comfort in the night skies' drone
Protecting the love I gave many times, betrayed
Flying, never tied, no company allowed, as a shooting star
Ever shattering away, I wander afar


Oh lookie!  My first time rhyming!     *sneaks back out again*

~Astraea
