He watered her , 

And married her, 

And with that girl he made a family. 

And the fog was gone, and he lived his life. 

Content, just beyond the grasp of joy. 

His family grew up and moved on, 

To better things 

And to find their own pots of gold 

His wife grew old and died, 

And so he grew old, too. 

He, the eternal life-giver, now awaiting the arrival of his rest. 

He awoke one morning, and the fog had returned. 

"And hello to you," he quietly muttered. 

He said to the fog, which was now listening : 

"When I walk into the sun, 

I will forget all that I know, 

All the blinding pain, 

And crippling lust. 

I’ll only remember 

You and thee, and thine alone, 

And what we’d be, 

Had I not been born."
