※empyrium---many moons ago※

a night of december so dark and cold
i walked a path ages old
the moon amongst the clouds revealed
lightning valleys, forest and field
embraced by silence i wandered the moor
an endless landscape by my side
when in the mist i saw a light
dancing through the hazy night
i stood and watched the play in awe
was deeply touched by what i saw
i told my friends what i did see
and what they told did tremble me!
it’s said the ghost of a young, fair maid
is cursed to dwell beneath the shade
of the olden oak she died below
o that was many moons ago!
