Rambles

When I did walk upon this world,

Naked, save for a smile weary and devoid of hope

Hither did I seek for substance unknown

I came across strange lands

Of palaces and people

Shunned by all

Wandering vagabond straying ever

Out in the open I did sleep

Awaiting the death of the sun

The moon mother alone understood

Respite from unjust purgatory she gave

I did smile

As I looked up in wonder

Flirting with her mischievous children

We did look upon each other

Unlearned, yet, I understood your silent affection.

Your favourite I did become

And love me dearly you did

Sent down your prettiest child for me

Wondrous form given

With stars in her eyes

And soul so tender

You did seek me out

In my wilderness

Covered me with silken gifts from your mother

Knew not whence thou came

Fear of the world

I reclined. Snarled

Unlearned, I knew not

Your gentle smile, easing
