Constantly together, forever apart Part II

continuation of my poem inspired by Ladyhawk

light of mid day's sun glimmers as twilight approaches the earth

yet mind does gravitate to yonder friend who's awake for nights birth 

 

small simple silly lad whose a thief that many call the mouse 

traveling many hours we come to linger at a strangers farmhouse

 

darkness creeps as it casts long shadows upon the world I begin to change

the moon calls out to me my humanity fades to animals exchange

 

how often wish that this curse upon myself and Isabeau I could lift

but the nighttime comes without hesitation without mercy does shift 

 

vision blurring the wolf takes over chasing a deer threw the wood

more beast than man returning to the mouse and fair lady is good

 

nigh time comes and goes remembrances of night forgotten 

waking from distant slumber never knowing events misbegotten

 

loneliness calls out as ladyhawk's cry is heard overhead high above me

preparing to make journey home ending this curse so we may be free
