Mirah - Special death

a terrible mistake was made
the weight would break the backs
of ten strong horses tried to save
the castle in the fray
if you knew that I could take the pain
inflicted at the battle
with faithful arrows you might get back in the saddle
but it's a special death you saved
for me the brown-eyed daughter
once you made it hotter
the thankless holy praise
is left alone
why bother to cast a stone
in water?
