Returning Across the Lake
Without a near Full Moon


The oarsman rowed along silent
As if all his sounds had been spent
Heard only was wind and water,
Soundless birds floated on the wind
They had no glad greetings to send
From the gray skies of the winter.

I had been gone less than season
And it had cost too great a loss
There before the shell of my home,
Raiders had came looking for gain
Finding just her my one treasure
Took her life leaving me alone.

The oarsman rowed to the far shore
Returning me back to the war
Again reaching there in darkness
But now it was a darker night
I went ashore with no moon light
Carrying a sword and sadness.

Gloom

..."without a near Full Moon" is taking on a much deeper meaning now...and the story grows...
