Gentle, gentle - mist is
falling
all across the plains.
No startling
bright of height, nor
darker depths
are waiting to accost
you anymore.
Yes, little one, I'm sure
of what I
speak.
For all the peaks and valleys
blend
here in the heartland
of my home,
centering the many into
one. Hush
now, child, no need to
scream. For
you are here with me and
loved
complete.
No, your father isn't coming
home
tonight. He went to battle
once again,
to spend his life force
in a war
that never can be won
by force at all.
But I shall hold his tempests
back
from you.
For you and I, we know
the worth of love...
