Born in the wild of parents two A child of nature, a river’s ebb. Karelanne, this creature most fair of puppy love as children do... running wild, and soaring free. Golden hair of pure flowing silk, eyes of blue that gleam in moon’s light. Curves beyond the wildest of dreams a sparkling gem, God given sight. So many years of laughter, the scent of wild flowers in bloom. A fragrance that fired the passion of this man. Moments shared beneath a flowing fall. Resting on the smoothness of a hidden ledge. The lullaby of a roaring water. As two.....now sated....slept. Until.... One fateful night, their giggles and smiles, their passionate dreams... shattered by a splintering crash against a door. Men of greed, of gold filled lust.. Men of sin, of terror.. Only darkness came to the eyes of one so tall. This gentle man of many cares... Not seeing the defiling rape, the pillage... The shattering of a beauty's wares... Finding only a slender shape, lifeless.. upon the steps....she crawled to there.. They took raw gold, from deep the mine They took a love, of one so fair. They took the breath, this beauty fine of golden tresses, flowing hair. He stands before the window's glass staring into the chilling night. He stands, remembers of this lass whom he could not defend.... from plight.... A tear falls, as does the flow of crystal cascading over a hidden ledge, where memories lie, and never die....of one so fair.. of Karelanne. |

Thanks Barry. I wondered about Karelanne when I read of her last night. The characters you create with such perfect images in words...you can see them so clearly in your mind...well, it's like you know them. Patricia |
