PARADISE LOST
The wizard had told her
she could never return.
But she had not listened;
Curiosity burned.
To see what the future
might hold for the better.
For there seemed so mANY
opportunities for her.
The spell made a space warp,
sent her ahead in time;
the fourteenth century
left very far behind.
But she could still visit
where it had all happened
The bell of the prince’s ball
a whole lifetime to spend.
She knew adoration
from both prince and the court.
Too much of a burden,
or too lightly a sport?
Now as she strolled slowly
into ruined Great Hall
the memories flooded
her sad heart wall to wall.
Now deeply regretted
flight away from her test,
realizing at last
that past time was the best.

AS I WALK BENEATH THE RUINS
_
As the ole place still stands
Yet over grown
With ivy
Where the bars were
Are no more
Just a big openin where they hung
No more guards to guard
The palest walls
Kings and queen all gone
Even the children sing no more
With all these things gone
It still feels like home
