Year: 990/991 FY
Characters: Dallu and Taz
Notes: This is a villanelle.
I wish to give to you the sky,
That I have cherished all my days
In all its wonders, shining high.
You ask me why I stayed, and I
Have nothing more than this to say:
I wish to give to you the sky.
You ask why I left, I reply
The world is full of glorious ways
In all its wonders, shining high.
We sail onward, high and high
For we have reached the end of days,
And I wish to give to you the sky.
We sail to the edge of that sky,
The place from whence I made my way
In all its wonders, shining high.
I know that things have changed, but I
Still want to show you all the ways
I wish to give to you the sky--
You would not let me fall or fly.
For we will keep it, all our days,
In all its wonders, shining high.
When I ask why you keep me by
You catch my hand, and smile and say
You wish to share with me the sky
In all its wonders, shining high.
