why do you weep
she asked
i could not raise my head
for the pain
for beauty, i said
beauty? then you must weep
she asked tears of joy

no, no
you do not understand
tears of sorrow
of sorrow for beauty
that could not be
it is without wyrd
and so without joy
she finished

yes, yes
nature is beautiful
the wyrd is nature
expanded and made
whole in power and potential
so why do you weep
she asked.

i weep, i said
i weep
for the forests who do not know
the glory of the wyrd
for such is the way of men
and beasts
that they will not see the
hope
blinded by moon's piercing light

are they worth your tears?
