To you, I was



The wind called her the child of the cursed
But the moon called her dearest
The water quietly listened to her sorrow heart
The sun shone upon her

Despite all her worries
Wind was always there pushing her
"Was wind ever good?"
She wondered.

But her heart knew the answer
The moon spoke to her
"Child, run to a world far away
So far, I would forget you".

This broke her heart
Piece by piece
But the sun was always the same
Silently watching her from above

Then came in the storm
The storm stole her away
Like how the moon wanted
She was now far gone

Years went by
Where was she?
No one knows
But surely time does

Time has been the only one
With her since the beginning
And will be with her
Forever

The wind, the moon, the water and the sun
All smiled upon
But who?
Looking at, was the child
They adored the most

Finally, she looked up
Eyes filled with tears
Final words of goodbye
Was hard

But all the four of them smiled at her
She saw the hope they had
She then turned
Set off to the land of known.
