Ravenel
Born into magick royalty
The one sent by Goddess
To set them free
From conception forward
His destiny defined
But in a dream
To his mother
The oracle, Riobhlinn, prophesised
Written in blood
Was Ravenel's early demise
With dark sources
Landing on the shore
The Queen made
A painful choice
To let her baby boy go
Placing a bronze amulet
Around his neck
So as he would never forget
Down the crystal pool of reflection
He went
Through a portal in time
To world unknown
An entire kingdom left to mourn
She sat every day
By the crystal pool
Pining for her son
Her only one
Years went by
And the baby
Became a man
All though he had what he needed
There was still something lacking
His soul, not completely whole
There was a yearning
A lesson to be learned
A part of him he did not know
He followed the feeling
To a faint golden light
And disappeared from the other world
That fateful night
Back through the portal in time
The same in which he came
To the shores of Awenyiddion
Where his mother lay
He reached down
Touching her porcelain skin
Wiping silver strands of ageless beauty
From her face
Slowly she awoke
First taken by fear
Who was this stranger
Why was he so near
Then it hit her
A mother never forgets her son
The twinkle in his eye
Same as when he was born
Her Little Lord Ravenel
Had finally come home
The one sent by Goddess
To set them free
From conception forward
His destiny defined
But in a dream
To his mother
The oracle, Riobhlinn, prophesised
Written in blood
Was Ravenel's early demise
With dark sources
Landing on the shore
The Queen made
A painful choice
To let her baby boy go
Placing a bronze amulet
Around his neck
So as he would never forget
Down the crystal pool of reflection
He went
Through a portal in time
To world unknown
An entire kingdom left to mourn
She sat every day
By the crystal pool
Pining for her son
Her only one
Years went by
And the baby
Became a man
All though he had what he needed
There was still something lacking
His soul, not completely whole
There was a yearning
A lesson to be learned
A part of him he did not know
He followed the feeling
To a faint golden light
And disappeared from the other world
That fateful night
Back through the portal in time
The same in which he came
To the shores of Awenyiddion
Where his mother lay
He reached down
Touching her porcelain skin
Wiping silver strands of ageless beauty
From her face
Slowly she awoke
First taken by fear
Who was this stranger

Then it hit her
A mother never forgets her son
The twinkle in his eye
Same as when he was born
Her Little Lord Ravenel
Had finally come home
