I walked,I stumbled where I’d never been
No friend nor ally guided me nor could
In the mesmerising sharp pain of my grief
Wandering like an outcast , never queen
Reason was no aid in that dead wood
I wandered through the shadows of my dreams
I felt the ground beneath me swirl and seethe
As if to kill me too or spill my blood
In the desolate place of darkness deep
Rosemary,remembrance, flowering wreaths
Inside the heart will mercy come to flood?
I wandered where to love would be obscene
But in the arctic wastes , surprised by god
In late winter trees will start bud
I wandered on until my heart revived
From that place of peril came new life
