Aroused from a dream by tremble and shudder
Baritone whisper brought my heart to its flutter
Now shall the days be finished in number
Alas, still a dream, I return to slumber
Walking cross sands by light of the moon
Musk familiar brings vigorous swoon
I turn with hope to engage my Prince
And challenged with truth of lonely footprints
O angel, my angel, when shall I see thee
When shall I embrace and love thee freely
Am I still thy passion, thy amour, thy Queen
Am I still that one who brings joy serene
Why do I doubt and fear for his loss
Am I cleaved to fidelity or by wind am I tossed
In stillness, in vain, in hope I depend
For reunion in ecstasy and amorous end
Author notes
Our faithful Lady is now deep in her desire for the return of her love. Constantly barraged with false appearances she begins to question her steadfast devotion.
This happens in the parting of two who are in love. Eventually time, distance and life begins to test the validity of such love. What we do with that test determines the strength and potency with which we display this love to the world.

Such strength. You have grown so much in your writings and the love that you have shown in them all is truly amazing, it touches my heart and makes me smile to know that I have witnessed such a person as you grow not only spiritually but poetically as well. You have turned into such a poet, it is all truly beautiful.. This is an intense part of the series. and I can't wait for more!

such beauty in every word whispered, truly love that struggles and survives is the love that is made for all time.. both sorrowful fer the woman and her love.. but beautifully expressed.

This is the strongest one yet in this series. So emotional, so deep. Wow. I loved the last line. The rhyme was so underlying and sneaky that I didnt actually see it until i read it the second time. Very clever and well penned. A beautiful piece.
