My Lucky Name

The girl with the sad eyes and frozen smile
Knox with the apple trees in a circle
By night she wanders in search of a child
The child with a merry laugh and twinkling brow
Mara of beauty and song, lying
In elegant simplicity upon the grass
Away from the girl, streaming and rushing
Memories of a man
With tortured hands and a forgotten look in his darkest eyes
Who has forgotten him? Or who did he forget?
Himself, astride a noble beast in control of another
Left her behind with the thought of love
She never understood and never wept
For she has someone to look for
Someone to find who gave her a name
A lucky name and a memory
Knox with the apple trees in a circle -
There she will ask you where
Have you heard her call?
Next time, give the girl a memory
She will never be forgotten again.
