Under the Rowan Tree
by Colwyn
Age Group: Adult
When times were nicer and simpler
There was a rowan tree
Born from eagle's blood and wimper
Yet no man like you can see
There was a river that ran close by
Was very clean, and pure
The water reflected heaven up high
Twas a paradise I'm sure
But beyond the tree land was dead
Barren because of hate
The river born of tears turned red
The birth and death of fate
Now in the tree there was one girl
Clothed not in ways of man
Skyclad she watched the wind twirl
Blow dust up from the land
And from the river there was a boy
Sad and skyclad to
Boy saw girl with looks of joy
And with a love so true
This land did belong to the boy once
Full of magic and life
But war and quake doth turned to dust
Now the boy is in strife
The boy called to girl, but no answer
He called and called again
Till finally she noticed his words
And turned to the river again
"Who are you?" the boy asked girl
"I am the Girl of Heaven."
"I am Boy from River." Wind twirled
The girl's curls intoxicated him
A blessing from the sky
And as the dusk sky turned dim
One question remained, why.
Why didn't they go to their homes
And what was this feeling
A feeling that froze them from home
A feeling that kept them smiling
Thunder was rolling, sky was black
The water began to rise
Danger in the air, should've been back
Move very quick or die
River and tree were dangerous homes
So they left familiar ground
And found a safe and rocky dome
It looked so safe and sound
They hid in cave and huddled close
And sat there in warm embrace
And there they got their first true dose
Of love, they tightened embrace
Here in this cave, they made a choice
To live hither or thither
The choice was very easy of course
The cave belonged to her
The boy wanted to be subservant
But the girl said no
They lived with no servants
And grew through sun and snow
When times were nicer and simpler
There was a rowan tree
Born from eagle's blood and wimper
Yet no man like you can see
Now in the tree there was one girl
Clothed not in ways of man
Skyclad she watched the wind twirl
Blow dust up from the land
And from the river there was a boy
Sad and skyclad to
Boy saw girl with looks of joy
And with a love so true
Now there were three more there
Two girls and a little boy
Born from boy and girl so fair
All five did live in joy
And grass did grow, flowers bloomed
All was happy of creation
For life came from the girl's womb
And thus, the legend of creation
