Forsooth we strolled between the trees
no sound appeared there to be heard
no melodic calling of the bird
bushes tremble although no breeze
air cold though sunshine all around
fleabane, hemlock cover the ground
a place where sprites may take their ease.

Upon the branch there sits a bird
of night, his voice so seldom heard
although it’s often said you may
hear his elusive call by day
but if this bird then does give tongue
it is the same song as the sun.

Julian sat in her stone cell
from behind a window of glass
she could watch as they performed mass
while confined in this living hell,
tickets to see her, priests would sell,
in the mid fourteenth century
an anchoress she chose to be
while all through those long lonely years
she recorded her thoughts and fears
so that all, her passion might see.

As they started poking around
they found a bone covered in slime
that had been there for a long time
so decided they should dig down
and see what else was in the ground
the story goes or so I’m told
it seems it started to grow cold
this they found to be quite eerie
by now they were getting weary
and all were lost as was the gold

There was a man possessed by a demon
he said his name was Legion
for we are many he whined
before being cast into the swine
and driven out of the region

The sun rises in the morning,
banishing the grey mists of dawn
the rising sun greets the new morn,
in defiance of science scorning
crimson tinges and their warning
as Helios once again tries
to cast Selene from the skies
before inviting Mother Earth
to celebrate the new day’s birth
heralded by the new sunrise
