How fare you, my Sister dear?
Your head is hung so low, I fear
Your once-bright spark has faded low,
You carry sorrow's hues in tow.

I'm dying Sister, you know this.
I am soon to know Dark's bliss.
My spark is soon to fade to naught.
I fear that I'll be soon forgot.

My selfishness, please forgive,
But what of me? Am I to live?
You must hate me, to leave like this,
Your thoughts of me truly love-less.

You know I love you, Sister mine,
By happenstance or will Divine.
My time grows short here in our place
Where last I'll see your fairest face.

But what after? What will I do?
In our paths I follow you.
I don't yet know my way around,
Not east nor west, not up nor down.

Where you go it matters not.
A path for you I have long sought.
Follow me not, for your own sake.
Your future is your own to make.

How am I to just go on,
Live without you for so long?
How am I to just exist,
Floating, alone, sisterless?

Precious little Sister, don't fret,
Age will claim you too, I'll bet.
From Maiden you'll change, to Mother, to Crone.
Someday you'll know the things I have known.

What of those who look to you?
What of all the good you do?
I am but a lightning bug
Here beside your warming hug.

Sister, your power is true.
Different, but still good you'll do.
Embrace the night that's sure to come.
Your reign is new, you are yet young.

Thank you Sister for your words,
I will watch over the children's herds.
I will miss you so, my love.
Heavens guide you, up above.






Sister, sister? Sister please.
One last whisper through the trees?
Sister, I will mourn you yet.
This I swear, I'll not forget.

Through the darkness I will shine
Harnessing this power mine.
I stand sentry through the night,
Watching, guiding, with my light.

I shall teach and I shall learn
Until your fires once more burn.
Forevermore, I shall remain,
The Night Eternal my domain.
