Glad to see you posted sweety. I don't understand it all at this moment but I am sure as I reread it , every thing will come to light.



HUUUUUGLES to you!

WOOTAGE
For the two years or so, I've wanted to try writing a story again, but I had not been able to come up with any good ideas. Judging by my file's creation date, I'm guessing on Oct 14th of 2003, I had a dream in which I saw a mermaid in human form, who had come to visit her human friend in his home, and I saw her hand him a book. After this visit she disappears and noone knows where she went. The dream ended with a group og people in this man's house sitting around trying to figure out where she went.
The next morning, I remembered the dream and thought it would make a great beginning for a story, so I took notes on what I could remember and began writing the story about finding her.
Well, the first draft of that story is finally finished! WOOTAGE!!!!!!!
~25 pages double spaced, and it's got holes in it the size of Shidhagh (Capital city for the race of merfolk) Just means that there is plenty of room for details details details and plenty of elaboration.That's what the second draft will probably be pretty much all about. Don't think I'll start that though until I've sat down and read this version first.

Ok, I'll post it an attempt at a multi-lingual piece. I can't guarantee accuracy

"Poison's Son"

Dursch die dunkelheit, er lauft
Mac nimh
Dunkel sonn die zeit verlassen
Mac nimh

Lost in time, known to none
Mac nimh
Seeking all, and being one
Mac Nimh

Der sonn gift, lauft mit keine fragen
Mac nimh
Kalt frueind nach mort, nacht das leben
Mac nimh

Lost in a world, eternally found
Mac nimh
Seeking the lost, bringing an end
Na Mac nimh fuer

*applauds Wildly*

Very nicely done Aaed. Thank you for finally sharing this with us.

[Aaediwen]

Who said "Poison's Son" had anything to do w/ my story?

They are completely independent pieces....

"Changing Roads"

Used to be we knew not where to find you
Wandering here, wandering there
I oft wondered, if you'd return again
You came back, a while, then again were gone 

Now we know, we know where to find you
You've come back, and brought someone with you
Brought someone to keep you straight
Brought someone to make a new beginning

Sometimes it's easy other times it's hard
Life is like that; as you well know
Help each other, and you know we're still here
Best of my wishes to the both of you
And may a joyous road lie before ye

[Aaediwen]

Thanks to Arianrhod's help, I was able to complete a piece I've been stuck on a while. Just now, I typed it out to a friend, and heard exactly how it should be read

one line.... at a time, and in some cases, half a line at a time.
I want to say how it makes me feel, but I don't want to flavor what you see. If I have done my job well enough them perhaps you will feel it.

[Aaediwen]

Yes, this was in the works long before Haldur wrote the first line of "The Last Sidhe Queen". I believe it thanks to this piece, that I saw that one how I did. In part anyway

Warning: the following text may have emotional and spiritual effects.

"Last of the Forest Fae"

Walking slowly, this lost track
Memories of the ages, on her back
Away now she walks
To a forgotten land
A land beyond the rock and sand
Where once her people had command
They had learned, and had taught
Now, alone, this road she walks
Silently walks, alone to the netherworld
The end of an era, twilight of day
She's the last of the forest fae
A tear left behind, and faintly she grins
She hasbeen the last to stay
The last of her kind, for to come this way
A new era begins
As an ancient one now ends
Now off she flies
To be seen not again
Her kind remembered only
By the magical pen  

[CelticRoz]

Aaediwen! That was truly awesome! I just simply adore your poetry!

[Haldur]

Simply beautiful piece Aaediwen...as always! I didn't really get a chance to fully envelope this poem early this morning and I apologize, for it is astounding! I see what you're talking about in the emotional and spiritual effects for it paints clear portraits of a passing. Thank you, your work is truly a blessing.

Aaediwen-

"Changing Roads", and "Last of the Forest Fae".... Well done.....
The two faerie poems do work well and flow with one another....

Good use of emotion.... sadness.... The sence of lose it leaves with the reader.... well done!
