  • Artist Info: Question:<br />
    If I were to say to you that, "I am a stranger traveling from the East, seeking that which is lost..."<br />
    <br />
    "And She Was Gone"<br />
    <br />
    She chose to walk alone, though others wondered why<br />
    Refused to look before her, kept eyes cast upwards towards the sky<br />
    She didn't have companions; no need for earthly things<br />
    Only wanted freedom from what she felt were puppet strings<br />
    She longed to be a bird, that she might fly away<br />
    She pitied every blade of grass, for planted they would stay<br />
    She longed to be a flame that brightly danced alone<br />
    Felt jealous of the steam that made the air its only home<br />
    Some say she wished too hard; some say she wished too long<br />
    But we awoke one autumn day to find that she was gone<br />
    The trees, they say, stood witness; the sky refused to tell<br />
    But someone who had seen it said the story played out well<br />
    She spread her arms out wide, breathed in the break of dawn<br />
    She just let go of all she held... and then she was gone.
