Cracks Poem by Bella Ravenstar

She was young
Lovely
Beauty as a dazzling gem
Yet she was bound in vows
vows of the abbey
On that fateful day
she was gathering fruit from the tree
and she saw that handsome farmboy
gathering sheep
he saw her
they locked a glance
then looked away
they threw a friendly greeting
had a small quiet chat
then the abbey bells rang
then she retreated to quiet prayer
her love was jesus
a vow as his chosen bride
all day until retiring to bedchambers devoted to god in heaven
then the next day
the farmboy gathering the sheep
they had a small quiet chat
and she ran an errand for the abyess
then she saw him again
they had a friendly chat
and he walked with her to the abbey
and said goodbye
daily prayer bells calling
solemnly kneeling
that night
at her bed
reading the holy bible
she heard the whistling ocarina
and her mind wandered
he playing it
to calm his distraught sheep
hoping she would come to meet him
she knelt and prayed and prayed
to lift it away
but then the morn came she gathered apples for the sisters
and she saw him again
hoever time had done its toll
and deeper on the road
their hopes went
none of the sisters were aware
of the young nun's vows going at risk
she prayed and prayed
it would not go away
then one day a letter on her window
a letter from him
more than friendly words
she wrote back
she told of her passion
although confused of breaking her vows
secretly they wrote
she went insane
for he took forever to respond
then she heard his ocarina
and drifted to dreamland again
oh how she longed
oh how she wept
he tapped at the window
and they spoke a few words
but did not invite him in
it was far too late
far too deep
many letters written
many visits paid
then one night she heard hooftaps muttering close
she knew
she had to break
her sacred vows
she tore off her habit
and garbed in a long black dress
she climbed out the window
and monted his horse
loved enchanted them so much
for they were meant to be
the handsome farmboy
and the lovely young lady
off they rode to the sea
to exchange an awaited kiss
forever in bliss
oh she'll never miss
the life in the abbey
and now she'll be happy
with that handsome farmboy
two lovers they be
far from the abbey
