Silver and Steel

Steel and silver forever entwine
Circlet on neck and the hilt of the sword
Now and forever, you'll always be mine.

Pearl and amber, nectar and wine
Fire that dances and bows to no lord,
Steel and silver forever entwine.

Music unseen, and glories divine
Shadow-wrapped secrets in a hidden hoard
Now and forever, you'll always be mine.

Cry of the hawk and the dizzying climb
River of silence with nary a ford -
Steel and silver forever entwine.

Soft-whispered songs, and revels sublime!
Wreathed in a garment of silken-swift cord
Now and forever, you'll always be mine.

Bright ruddy gold, and crystalline chime
Shy from the Real, its footsteps ignore.
Steel and silver forever entwine
Now and forever, you'll always be mine.
