Tanglewood
A bluegrass-acrostic poem about an old mystery death\dissapearance of two women , a mother and her young daughter, in the Tanglewood area of Massachusetts . They were never found but ashes and blood was found in their trail , along with a gun and two white doves with an odd crimson coloration on their tail-feathers.
Snow falling on her prayer
And her cheeks as red as a rose
I will not be treated this way she said
Never will I let them that close
Time is a tomorrow away
Softly pounding was her heart as it froze
Don´t want to forget but I can´t hold
On to this flame
No, I don´t even want to hold on to
The sound of my own name
Next to her small hand a necklace with a feather
Entering the tanglewood she would wear it again
Even her name she did not bring with her but
Death could not erease her reflection cast upon this land
There is beauty everywhere in this world
Oh Lord please take good care of my little girl
Bending her knees until they touched ground
Ending her daughters life to the sound of a gun
Saints dont need to be saved she whispered
As she closed her mouth around the burning gun
Veils of black wont be worn I know
Embraced by our heavenly Father and his Son as
Doves white with tail feathers red takes our place in this snow
