Serafina

I
Thy maiden fair with wings of white
Her songs of eternal mirth
Her presence serene, like a healing light
A vessel of salvations birth

II
Tis but a sad tale
Of how such maiden came to be
The echo of a broken towns' wail
A banshee who can no longer see

III
The cruel broken world
She cradled in her arms
To which an abyss she hurled
Where darkness came in swarms

IV
How pitiful was pain
To stand there before her
Coming down like a sudden rain
Faded to no more, but a blur

V
Her warm crystal tears
That rid the fears away
Could not heal the years
Or the trauma of "that" day

VI
The years she has left
Before the flames of life runs out
Her shawl woven from worn out weft
Her heart ridden from temptations doubt

VII
Her tresses the shade of Lila
To her cheeks like blushing dawn
Her eyes that shined like fuchsia
Leaving mortals to marvel and fawn

VIII
To be born at a time of sorrow
When the sky cried tears of red
And the fear of a never coming morrow
Like a vow she proudly said

IX
"Brace the joys within thy hand
Who knows how long they will last?
Facing trials, together we stand
Taking in the time that ever moves fast"

X
Were such words a shadow of lies?
Surely, she must fear death
Yet countenance shined through her eyes...
Her fate had already been set
XI
Serafina...your kindness knows no bounds...
Your purity so great
The echo of praise from heaven resounds
In your heart of eternal sate

XII
In this world of endless pain
Surely, your light will shine through
Breaking the dark and the mournful rain
Bringing back the sky's bright blue hue
