We walked chest deep in inky black water we sank to our knees in the muddy bottom. I haled a flash light in my mouth so to keep both hands free yet it was a glorious! Overhead the stars perfect diamonds on the richest velvet. The trees lining the dark lake cut a skyline of pure darkness through the starry sky. All about us a thousand lamps of fireflies sparkled in the blackness. All these things made the night wonderful but when he lifted his voice in song everything became sharper clearer brighter darker and more holy. On one knew the words he spoke. “it was hymning in elfish” he told me latter but I am rather sure it was more than that, it was the song of his heart and no words of mortal man could have sung that song.
I heard the song and strength filled my soul and passion burned in my heart but the song was not for me and so I only heard it’s echoes ringing in my ears. She walked with us and on that night she heard her masters voice and she has fallowed that song with her life. That song was woven with his life, his tears, his love and spun in heaven. He would die before he would let that song break, he would die before he would let her hurt.
I knew that there was something about that night I did not understand and it has taken me all these years to put everything together and to know that song.
