    LADY SAIL 'O MIGHTY WIND (Songs of the Mist-Part 6)

    She started her wary journey
    On St. Asaph Day
    So profound
    The townsfolk on the banks
    Of the River Elwy
    Dare not make a sound

    She carried but hope and promise
    On a pair of fragile gossamer wings
    Not pretentious yet wishing
    Life 2 portend
    Of sacred omen not ominous things

    She wandered through her memories
    Of days filled with intimacy
    Sighing in consternation
    Of all that was
    And never to be

    Lady sail
    Sail on wind o' mighty
    Across rain swepped Andean Hills
    Stop and pay homage
    To a Warriors' virtue
    And the fair Maiden's tears that spilled

    She sopke 2 the proud piper
    Listened to his song
    Greeting entrance to
    The Gates of Dawn
    On morning pale
    Danced with the Humpback whales
    Paused to brunch on minnow and prawn

    Across the Chilean border
    Stood a statue carved in ice
    She marvelled at the craftsmanship
    Circling the statue not once but twice
    On its base was etched
    "To My Darling Brendeas"
    In the carving doves of a pair
    The wind echoed it's wanting
    Through a curl of the statue's hair

    The Wuthering Winds approached her
    Asked if she needed a reprieve
    She thanked them for such generosity
    And sailed upon the Wuthering Breeze
    No days to count
    No calendar
    Just the unbearable lightness of destiny
    Fulfillment of all prophecy
    And all that shall come to be

    Lady sail
    Sail on wind o' mighty
    Across rain swepped Andean Hills
    Stop and pay homage
    To a Warrior's virtue
    And the fair Maiden's tears that spilled

    On the Eve of Forgiveness
    She witnessed a prosession
    Of once neglected souls
    And in the Meadow of the Mystic
    A dam caressed a yearling foal
    So tender was her nurture
    The foal's nose sprinkled
    With morning dew
    The songbrids sang to a soul's aspiration
    As music filled the Mews

    As winter raised her curtain
    Flurries fell in distinct shapes
    She paused to partake of the juices
    Of late summer Chilean grapes
    It began snowing harder and harder
    Through the eves of peaks and plume
    The sun stood sentry
    Over the majesty
    Of an autumn afternoon

    Her journey once completed
    Through tension and trevail
    With her she carried the story
    Of the Devine Brendeas' tale
    Nothing impaired her destination
    All Pan's friends were instructed to assist
    Upon landing in the Lover's Meadow
    She planted apon the wildflowers a kiss

    Lady sail
    Sail on wind 'o mighty
    Across rain swepped Andean Hills
    Stop and pay homage
    To the Warrior's virtue
    And the fair Maiden's tears that spilled
