I've run with banshees

I've run with banshees,
I've run through the night with them,
I've heard their wails,
I've seen their woes
and I've seen their smiles.



I've run with banshees through rain,
I've run with banshees to farther places,
traveled to unknown lands,
to meet unknown faces.

I've run with banshees to saturnalias,
where I met lovers of old dance a dance,
that's they've danced for decades.

Where I met others dance a dance,
and attract no one.

I've seen banshees become bacchae,
and lose themselves in ecstasy.
I've seen mortals don armor of old,
and become gods.
I've seen mortals don armor of old,
and become something less.

I've run with banshees,
I've run with banshees to lands of familiar,
to faces of similar,
I've run with banshees and heard their wails,
and I've seen their woes and smiles.
