Life Quest Secretly you creep in, no noise do you make Yet the treasure within, is but yours for to take I am waiting for you, cup filled in my hand Gentle welcoming mists in this faerie land Who am I? You ask, your lips make no sound I am all that you see. Do you dare look around? The child, the maiden, enchantress or crone 3 sisters they called me, squash bean and corn The cold sands of earth, raped bringing forth fruit The power and strength, the wisdom of truth I fed you, I held you, safe at my breast Sweet lullabies I sang, oh the gentle caress Sweeping soft curls, as you took hesitant steps So proud when you ran, tears that you wept I was there as you played, butterflies in the grass As you hunted, explored, streams clear as glass When the sun was your fire, bright in your heart I was the candle, when nights were so dark When the first kiss lay sweet on your quivering lips When love’s chains held fast, mouth, eyes, finger tips The ecstasy, the passion, the joys of this life The pain and the sorrow that cut deep as a knife Who am I? A riddle, one you must quest The answer’s within, you have but one guess But a lifetime to seek over forest and sea Till life brings you back, full circle, to me Shay
