“Be careful with this one.”

you were from the future
moving faster than you knew
pure like a forest river
with a will so strong and true

here, here, only here
i knew the true shape of your fear
i held it tightly, love filled heart
that pulled away from doubting, doubt

turning turning round the forest
falling farther from your honor,
priestess, truth will tumble down
when those around you shirk the crown
hiding, they do fail to see
that truth will live, it cannot be
that staving off will ever bring
more joy than honesty’s kind ring.
