The Golden Child
by Asena Lourenco
The shining blonde streaks of gold
Fell down in small perfect curls
To make true the story told
The child with skin of mother pearl
The towering trees and the weak red sun
Would finally fulfil the prophecy
To the Devil, the child will run
So people of good will be free to flee
The hearts of many have many hearts
But the parts of hearts are now hearts in parts
The love in life is the life we loved
And the Hell from below is now the Hell from above…
