lost powers

there was a time
when i was wise

my thoughts could rule
the world

there was a time
when all inside

would make the flags
unfurl

i honed my skills
in secret places

along the raging
river

i kept my craft
within my laces

away from all the shivers

i never was as
powerful

as the princess i was

i often stayed so
doubtful

even during the applause

if only i could travel
back

to the assuring waters

then the world could
attack

but i would never falter

no more dead
outside the slaughter

(be)
