Haerelneth's Journey

Winter
Through snowy paths she was riding
Mountains rising high
But since three moons her heart had stopped flying
In her mind a deafness to the life around

Moonlight
She bowed to whisper her prayer
And then suddenly
The voice bloomed in her mind and grew stronger
With eyes bright with new hope she stood up and

Cross the river till the grove to where you belong
The giant oak tree will renew what is lost to you
Wait by her roots till in your heart sprouts a song
She will reach for your mind
And rescue you from all your misery

She rode along the river till she found the enchanted grove
The lake was bright and clear,
and then she saw the giant tree
The leafy boughs seemed to reach out to her

The mother’s warm embrace
Then her bare feet felt a throb through the ground
And the huge trunk glowed from silver to brown
Deep in her heart a grip was soon released

And a soft song all her sadness now pierced
Springtime
Greeting the new leaves and flowers
The fair elf walked by
Feeling one with the birds, trees and rivers
In her mind devotion, love and joy for life

Cross the river till the grove to where you belong
The giant oak tree will renew what is lost to you
Wait by her roots till in your heart sprouts a song
She will reach for your mind
And rescue you from all your misery
