A Shepard’s Tale

Once upon a time
I left my pride and all that was mine
I laid down with the lambs
Folded my hands and prayed to the sky
Because I, I wanted to be untied

Wine flowed from the dawn and from my side
As I swallowed my pride
I cursed at the sun, hated the moon, and dreaded the future
Because I, I could never conceive
Such love

I gazed down from my hill
The whole world looked still
And bathed in the lights
I look back on the yеars and on the fear and isolation
Becausе I, I wanted to be untied
