InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sui Generis ❯ Heart of the Wind ( Chapter 4 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

She lies in a field of lilies,

Beside a secret pond,

Holding her hand to her precious heart,

She hears voices from beyond.

The fiery winds blow, the flowers' bane,

Paying homage to their mistress

She revels in her beating heart,

Joyous, ecstatic, yet in pain

The Zephyrs come to caress their sister,

Not knowing her fate,

They hold her in their arms

She, the spirit of the wind

But she waits, and waits,

For the glow to end,

The light to fade,

The trees to still, and

The breezes to cease their trill

Winds of change shall come,

And blow her away, far away

From the raging tempests,

She shall not fly again,

Nor master the wind.

She wants to be free,

But to be bounded by only her heart,

Where she can hear,

The songs of the wind,

Where she can feel

Fading away, her heart skips a beat,

Broken whispers come,

And the winds part

She finds him there,

The only name in her heart

His blade touches her,

Trying to breathe quiet life,

But the Swords of Heaven

Cannot part her from her freedom,

Lying behind a veil of darkness

She knows that death is but a passing

She will come again,

With the rites of Spring,

The fields of Summer,

The gold of Autumn,

Or flakes of Winter

The zephyrs shed tears,

The winds lament as one,

They cannot bring her redemption

For what she has done,

For what she was born

She lies down in the bed of flowers,

And it aches, her wondrous heart

Not for the first time,

Nor for the last,

But for all eternity

Her heart cries out to him,

But can their soul ever be one?

No, they are fated to part,

And not to meet again

A tear falls from her eye,

Her heart's way of saying

Goodbye

It aches for him

And forever will

Oh! Now she knows,

Now she feels, as she breathes her last,

The cursed pain,

Oh! The intense pain,

Of having a heart
