Selene calms down [open if anyone wants to]
« Thread Started on Jan 22, 2008, 2:04am »

Listening to the little voice in her head that had spoken to her in the dorm, Selene walked to the lake and cleared her throat. Looking across the lake, she thought of a song that might help her feel better. The perfect song immediately came to mind. An old teacher had taught it to her a long time ago, but she still loved it. It was a mix of english and a language called Gaelic. Getting the music in her head, she started to hum the introduction. Eventually the words started to come out as clear as a bell.

I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Siuil, siuil, siul a run,
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan.

Siuil, siuil, siul a run,
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

She stopped a minute to listen to the echo of her voice across the lake. She could still hear the last part of the chorus ringing, the Gaelic reverberating on the water and sounding like magic. She did feel a little better after she had sung that song. Selene smiled and sighed. She started singing again, dancing along with the music in her head. Music always made her feel better.
