Daniel Nairn - One and the Same

One and the Same as-
A lad leaving home for war,
Proud to fight-
Scared to Die

One and the Same as-
Fire
Tall, Strong-
Afraid of Water

One and the Same as-
A Fairy Queen
Lighting on a flower
Adding Beauty to beauty
But-
Deepened by memories
Of a lover gone
Centuries past

Daniel Nairn
