Long past the time when he should have returned~
a young boy came home to find he had none
Just the burned out remains of all he'd ever known~
the loss of which from his journeys begun...
~~
Thrown unceremoniously in a cell~
only to crumple in a drunken heap
A man almost broken by the fortunes~
which through the rest of the night haunted his sleep...
~~~
Called on to do, what she knew she could not~
instead she slipped into the dark shadows of night
Secreting under the folds of her cloak~
the very thing she would save by flight...
~
Leaving his fathers unharvested lands~
to in time become overgrown & rotted
He gathered what of could be made use~
& in his mothers quilt then wrapped & knotted...
~~
Yanked hard to his feet from the arms of sleep~
with no memory that together could be pieced
Foul straw from the cell still stuck to his face~
after dragged out & from his irons released...
~~~
By every little sound was she startled~
praying that undisturbed would remain her charge
Knowing that once outside the castle walls~
she must still make her way down to the barge...
~
To be continued...

This has such a ring of the memeory of many selves...
You write with the rythym if dreams here:
"...Leaving his fathers unharvested lands~
to in time become overgrown & rotted
He gathered what of could be made use~
& in his mothers quilt then wrapped & knotted..."
I feel the middle as the meat of this journey...
On to the next...
Peace
