 . Twas the wolf that drew her here To the glen of lightening shade Led in the voyage by the raven Was the lovely Starlynade She heard her lover was lost in battle His blood spilled at Evil’s Keep And thence she could not rest Til she saw, herself, his final sleep Her heart cried out in horror At the thought that he had died For the blood of passion’s lovers Within her breast did still reside Their hearts had beat as one once In peaceful silent loving grace But she would n’er rest again Til she gazed at his ashen face They loved as only the chosen do With a fiery heat born of desire Now she would travel to earth’s end To see the quenching of her fire A light shown in a village anon The weary wolf would venture no more The raven roosted in gnarled yew As Starlynade approached a cottage door A woman of uncounted years Drew the weary maid into the room Bid her sit before the warming fire That quelled not the cottage gloom A stirring caught Starlynade’s eye In the corner pallet of bloodied sedge Lay her lover Lord Branniston Holding last light of life on edge She quickly drew o’re to him And touched his fevered brow ‘rest my love, for I tend to thee Starlynade is with thee now.’ “how come you here?” he whispered ‘tis dangerous for maid alone what madness drew you to this place where blood flows upon the stone’ ‘The raven and your wolf sire knew my heart would never rest until I held you one last time against my loving breast’ Lord Branniston did not die His lady tended him with care Many days passed until they Could leave the cottage fair the raven, the wolf and the voyagers Journeyed silently through enemy terrain And found solace in the land of their birth Where they would ever remain. |

Wonderful story, Sharon!! The ache of the beginning made me think it would not be happily ever after, but you made it perfect from beginning to end. |

Thank you all!!! I've already had permission from Jeff to post this. I wanted to make sure it was ok to use his member name this way. (But the graphic is a surprise!) Thanks! |

Thank you Devine. I am still speechless! I have to say that the dousing of the candles on the cake could not bring forward a much better gift than the gift bequeathed to me this morning. To have the art within you bestow such a favor to my name is more than a thank you can ever suffice. I am thankful for your friendship and will keep this write with me so that I may be reminded of my blessings and the circle of friends that I am gifted with. Always your friend and with the utmost respect for your talents and kindness. -Ravenwolfvoyager |

Late as usual, but I have to agree with Jeff here, your talent and kindness to others is certainly what shined in this piece Sharon, absolutely incredible work. |

And, since RWV helped me find this jewel of yours, I think it only fitting that it goes back up to the top so everyone can read the entire saga as penned by two of the shiniest artists here! PdV...this is incredible...thank you! Love and Light...jc (and, RWV...thank you for guiding me to it!) This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light. |
