Ascent

Last mountain climbed
Long years past by
As she gazed with aged eye
The aerie where her hopes do lie
And all the world to save

Burdens laid aside at last
Her back like an arrow cast
Aimed at new beast to slay
She waits at the end of day
Beneath the sunset sky

No excuse, no strength withheld
The effort made the bards do tell
As down she draws a star to Earth
Shining there it draws her mirth
To find the reason why

Naught but dancing notes to play
Love each other, wise ones say
Free to be, free she may
Down the path with gay stride
To find her heart’s delight
