Today she had a word keep

Such was the fervor,
such was the prowess,
with which she steadied along.
All alone, her steps headlong,
she embarked on the deserted moor.

Her eyes steadfast on her way,
urgency gaping from her face.
She made her way through the bogs,
reverberating with euphonious songs.
Ah! What redolent enclave was it!
Full of animals gamboling around,
enticing her to play along.
Alas! She could not stop.
No surely not today,
Today she had a word keep,
Oh! She had a promise to meet!

But her steps did falter,
Oh her mind sure did wander!
What mesmerising sight it was,
ornate with cascades, and waterfalls.
Oh how enthralled was she!
But wish only she could stop for a while!
She gave it one long wistful glance,
and promised this wasn't her last chance.
But today she had no more time to spare,
today she had a word to keep,
today she had a promise to meet!

And ahead she went along her way,
garnering the iridescent views in her head.
For one day she would be free to come,
to revel in the world she cherished so much.
Oh that day would surely come,
the day when she has no more words to keep,
the day she has no more promises to meet!
