Vivian

VIVIAN

Today I arise
And know who I am
Not vessel, nor chattel
For any man
I glide through the forest
Blue robes aflow
And slip through the mists
Where mortal men row

I am a priestess
I am Vivian
Borne of the Goddess
I am Vivian
Yet still a maiden
I am Vivian

I wander the Kingdom
In the guise of a man
Offering my service
Wherever I can
My gift of the healing
Mortal men fear
Yet calmness descends
Whenever I'm near

I am a priestess
I am Vivian
Borne of the Goddess
I am Vivian
Yet still a maiden
I am Vivian

Forgive me sweet Goddess
I must make haste
For I am in love
And no longer chaste
We are to be wed
Traditions hand-fast
A babe will be born
Before the year's past

I am a priestess
I am Vivian
Born of the Goddess
I am Vivian
No longer a maiden
I am Vivian

To Avalon Isle
I flee with my child
For she has a talent
Reckless and wild
A need to be trained
In our sweet Ladys' ways
Or I fear that her gift
May number our days

I am High Priestess
I am Vivian
Borne of the Goddess
I am Vivian
Training hand-maidens
I am Vivian

Yes I am High Priestess
I am Vivian
Borne of the Goddess
I am Vivian
Born but to serve you
I am Vivian
