*I wrote this in response to a poem Pilgrimage wrote in response to my poem called Ariendiel...and so it grows.

In Ariendiel the fair folk play
to mould their dreams from dusty clay
while on the other side, near hell
are fallen ones from Avra-el

the night and light will cross the stream
becoming real within the dream
the nightmare cast, becomes the real
from Avra-el, not Ariendiel

The banshee, sprite and elvan lord
will play with words that cross their sword
and yet the dreamers know too well
forged swords, cut deep from Avra-el

While Ariendiel, the gift of light
plies forth its trade to mend the night
for dreams of true, to sway and heal
come from that place called Ariendiel

The faerie folk who turn the wheel
will stand betwixt light Ariendiel
and Avra-el, the place of mourn,
will hold its space till coming dawn

But what is one without the twain?
Tis like full moon without its wane.
In Ariendiel we hold to light
in Avra-el, is endless night

All creatures foul or fair at birth
each hold their own, each has its worth
for what is sun without the rain
and what is love without its pain

Proud Ariendiel or Avra-el
we give these names to heav'n or hell
and yet the light and dark both start
within a place deep in my heart.

Oh Ariendiel I loved you most
in you I found a heavenly host,
yet I am drawn and I must dwell
in deepest dark of Avra-el.


Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I like this perspective very much, talented lady. *S*
