On The Mist Of The Ocean's Wind
Copyright 2001
Written by James Edward Shields


She once sung with the sparrows
She once sang to their tune
But now she sings in mourning
On the mist of the ocean’s wind

High up on a cliff top
High up above the rocks
Forever a dirge she sings
On the mist of the ocean’s wind

The waves crash like her spirit
The waves roar her banshee song
Upon the shore so lonely
On the mist of the ocean’s wind

Her soul is felt in day
Her soul is felt in night
Especially around the rocks
On the mist of the ocean’s wind

The clouds look on silent
The clouds are joined by the stars
This is where she died so lonely
On the mist of the ocean’s wind

Good cannot exist without evil.  Darkness I embrace.

Dark, medieval and lyric. And such a beautiful title, "On The Mist Of The Ocean's Wind". Awe..

for what is given can be taken away. -Peter Steele

you paint a great portrait with
your writing, so in order
not to get carried away i will
leave it at this,
good job.
