Grand Salvo
Shalelem Relagh
Well I go by the name Shaelam RelaghI like to sleep under the starsI carry no coins and wear no shoesThe river provides me with my foodNow I'm going to tell you what I sawOne morning when the day began to dawnThe sky was churned and twisted dark and meanThe wind made swaying fools of the treesIt whipped the water made it hiss and stingSent the birds as kites without the stringThen when the biggest tree bent like a birchI felt a cruel wrenching of the earthIt fell across that river deep and wideIts highest branches on the other sideAnd the first thought on my mindWas I will cross that fallen pineAnd I will leave this life I've madeStart it all over againWell I only got a little way alongWhen something up ahead made me stopNot only had that tree began to moveA giant bear was running for me tooI had no time to run I just lay flatWaited for that bear to break my backBut all I felt was something very smallRun across my body that was allAnd when I finally opened up my eyesThe tree had left the riverbank behind
