Leaves of the Lady's Green Mantle
'...Watching the
flow of the water, 'twas dappled by sparkling sunlight,
Brought back
adventures of summers gone by when we'd played by the
willows.
I can remember a
time, when a milk pod became a light vessel,
Gossamer made us a
sail, and we sailed our small boats in the shallows.
On the clear
waters, they glided, and led us down stream to the
nixies.
Stories of Ichabod
Mudd in the Round Room and underground caverns.
I could still hear
a faint echo, a chorus of chortling voices.
Nixies were
telling about how the waters had flowed in past ages.
We were much
younger in those days; I know, though I hardly remember;
"Oceans were here
all about where you children are splashing and playing.
We are no more
than a trickle compared to the place we will flow
to."...'
