The gentle bard!

 The gentle bard!

The gentle bard from far away town, 

Blew into my street like west wind, 

With songs of love and kindness, 

Merrier than I imagined. 


For days after he left,

His word kept lingering in the air,

Charming were his tales,

Jewels like him are truly rare.


Were I nobility or something of importance,

I wouldn’t have to suffer and yearn,

I would have listened to him for hours,

Not helplessly wait for his return. 


But Alas, life is found to be such,

He may find it fit to return one day, 

I might or might not be here that dawn,

Who saw future, who’s to say?
