about
How could Cat let her dear friend, Bari, know her feelings for him were changing, deepening? There was only one way – she wrote him a song.
lyrics
She'd been alone for many years, kept herself apart
To try and mend her wounded pride, protect her fragile heart.
In her forest glade she'd found a place,
Where she could be cocooned and safe,
Insulated by her fear and thinking it was smart.
A friend of furred and feathered kind,
They calmed her grieving soul.
Uncomplicated, unconditioned love to make her whole.
Till the day a harper stumbled in,
Lost with wounds her art could mend,
Compassion outweighed caution,
As she reached out to console.
With the magic of her greenwood, gentle strength she shared.
His wounds she cleaned and bound,
Then withdrew the poison there.
And watched over him as he slept,
Her strange and silent vigil kept,
Wondering at how his fate had placed him in her care.
As days passed kindness he repaid, the only way he could,
Composing songs he'd play for her to echo in her wood.
The yearning heart she had ignored,
Was touched and shaken to the core,
The music held a magic which she had not understood.
In pain and terrified of love, for years she'd stayed alone,
Convinced her troubled heart that the risk should not be born.
The harper's tune unlocked and flew,
The butterfly was born anew,
His music taught her love should not be scorned.
She let go of the pain which had imprisoned her so long.
His gentle presence soothed her mind, her trepidation gone.
As the heart she thought could never mend,
Began to feel alive again,
The gift he gave within his healing song.
And she ever will be grateful for his gift of healing song.
