Lake of Nowhere
by Alison McKenzieThey say that if I forget about you,
You will fade into the Lake of Nowhere.
Your magic will die.
Your powers will fade all away.
They say that if I can just turn my back,
Even while you call after me,
Desperation pouring from your soul,
I will be done with you at last.
No more tormented thoughts.
You, touching my face, while we
Sway in the winter snow dance
Of every single dream I ever had of us.
They say that I dont even have to bury you,
I need only close my eyes and drift ahead,
Leave your faerie dust in a heap
At the head of the trail so I will never find my way back.
They say that the time for enchantment has passed us
And its time to put all wands aside.
Your steed has gone to pasture
And my hair is turning, turning.
