Where have you been?

So where have you been while the

Moon sat in branches and the seas

Took their leave and the sun rent

The skies and the Earth open up

To swallow us whole.

Where have you been, when the troubles

Touched your hearthstone and the

Lore broke your land and the

Desperate tore your heart out

From beneath you.

And where have you been when

I needed your whisper

Your silent abiding.

Because here you come

Mounting the rise, atop a steed

And you're smiling. You've been gone

And you've always been here

Right here where you're needed

Now seen, now heard, now you're here.
