Treading through the sultry grass,
Green stalks between my toes,
I smile uncontrollably,
At everything that grows.

The trees are just so real here,
The wind and water, too;
The greens are even greener,
And blues are just so… blue!

Racing through the sultry grass,
White skirts behind me fly,
I laugh, I can’t control myself!
I fall and see the sky…

Clouds are beautiful from below...
And air is fresh, and new…
Sunshine warms me to my bones,
My eyes close and I see… you.

Sneaking through the sultry grass,
To your Earth Kingdom home,
I hide amongst your garden trees,
Sounds muffled by fountain foam.

Peering around the trunk so rough,
I catch a glimpse of you.
My heart stops within my chest,
A Prince too good to be true.

Stomping through the sultry grass,
Displeasure in her tone,
Venus comes to take me back,
My secret cover blown.

But as she takes my hand and pulls,
I shyly say goodbye,
The look upon your perfect face…
I smile; I caught your eye.

Stealing through the sultry grass,
Escaping yet again,
I find you and we meet at last,
And converse for an hour or ten.

In you I find someone like me,
But stronger, silent, and proud
A soul that I can lean upon,
And in secret we avowed…

That so long as there was sultry grass,
And wind and water and sun,
The two of us would laugh and love,
Our hearts entwined as one.

Strolling through the sultry grass,
My hand fits in yours,
It feels as though my powers grow,
With you, on Earthen shores.

This calm, this feeling of deep peace,
Am I finally complete?
How cruel, how blessed the gods must be,
To allow you and I to meet.

For while we have this sultry grass,
We may never be free
To give our lives to one another,
We, Endymion and Serenity.

For we were of two different worlds,
His open and mine hidden,
And any interaction with the other
Was divinely forbidden.

And plotting in the sultry grass,
An evil woman schemes,
Against us, Prince and Moon Princess,
For stealing away her dreams…

Through secrets and the darkest plots,
The witch’s powers grow,
And into Earthling’s deepest thoughts,
The seed of suspicion she sows.

Marching across the sultry grass,
An army for Earth toils,
Intent upon a bloody conquest
On Moon Kingdom soil.

They know not why they must do battle,
But in Beryl they trust,
And through her words and promises,
She elicits their bloodlust.

…

Remembering the sultry grass,
As my kingdom burns to the ground
My last sight, your peaceful face…
T’was true love I had found.

Raising the sword within my grasp,
Somehow I just knew,
We would be given a second chance,
And again I would find you.

For so long as there was sultry grass,
And wind and water and sun,
The two of us would laugh and love,
Our hearts entwined as one.

Treading through the sultry grass,
The wind in her hair,
She remembers the last time
She walked this path
Through the sultry grass.

That time there had been a man
No she remembered
He was just a boy then,
No older than she was,

Together they had found a place all their own
Beneath the willow trees,
Among the flowers of spring
Two children grew up to fast


In that brief encounter,
In that moment in the wood,
They had crushed that sultry grass.
In that sweetest of moments of life they had made
In that patch of sultry grass where the wildflowers bloomed

He had made her a mother
She had made him a father.
Children that had grown up to fast
Still just children, with one of their own.

Now she was old
Her children grown and on their own.
Her lover taken from her
She laid down
Among the wildflowers

She rests her head
She breathes deeply
The smell of flowers and grass
Remembering the when of youth.

The sun was setting on the day
Like the sun setting on her life
She closed her eyes and drifted back
Back through the fogs of time and memory



Back to when they had tread
Tread through the sultry grass.
Back to when they had lain among the wildflowers
In the roots of the willow trees

She saw him then
As he was when they had
Lain among the flowers
When they had crushed the grass.

He smiled and offered her a hand.
She smiled and took his hand
Standing she became the child
That had crushed the sultry grass and lain among the wildflowers.

They walked off into the sunset
Two children that had grown up to fast,
On that day
When they had tread through the sultry grass.
