Come away, human child
to the water
Come away, human child
to the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand

I was feeling deeply distressed, was playing through a folder of random mp3's.

This poem has been done by Waterboys and Loreena McKennit amongst others and resonated with me.

Have felt like a wounded child this last couple of days...

Hope you are feeling happier, and thanks again, this poem is relevant to me in ways I cannot possibly expose to the handful of nasties on Wrong Planet.
