Lost In Nowhere

The Ballad Of  Semerwater has always been an  all  time  favourite poem of mine. And so, here is what I've written  inspired by this classic.

Deep  asleep, Deep  asleep
Deep  asleep it lies
A lost light of a golden sight 
Dead and cold as ice.
And many a fathom, Many a fathom 
Many a fathom below
Within  a soul,  unlike  a ghoul
It yearns again to glow.
For once upon
This light lived
Lived through joy and sorrow
With  hope at heart, no one to part
In fear of today nor tomorrow.
And yet there came a day so sad
Of a folly to caste its despair.
And  so,
The shining  light and the golden sight 
Were destroyed beyond repair.
The shining light of the golden sight
lie deep asleep in Nowhere.
