“He made the world to be a grassy road.
Before her wondering feet” W.B Yeats.
Of the night stars was she
Wondering which ever path she chose.
Of earth and preditory man was he
He wanted her routes to close.
Casting a net he caught her
Down from the skies he brought her.
Into the harsh world, her path to weave
Forrests and rivers he gave her.
He offered all and begged her not to leave.
So green paths she walked to nowhere.
Her mind and dreams still of the sky
Dreaming of the day when again she could fly.
