Brigid

Summary:

A ballad written by Petra after Dorothea offers to join her in Brigid.

Notes:

This was written late at night as I thought about Petra’s homesickness. The style is similar to Blake’s, one of my favourite poets. It’s written in Petra’s perspective, addressing Dorothea.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Brigid

 

‘But no, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I can’t take it anymore.’

                    —AURORA, ‘Runaway’

 

On misty days across the lands

I feel the piercing wind,

It surges through my summer braids

Weaved from blood and kin.

 

While laughter rings across the hall

Like a murder of merry crows,

You hold my hands against your chest

For a sweet moment’s repose.

 

I peruse the Fódlan tome of speech

In midnight library light,

I feel each page grow heavier

From the strain of speaking right.

 

I know one day I shall return

To Brigid, my dear homeland —

And so I weep in native tears

As you offer me your hand.

 

Notes:

Hope you enjoyed this work! :) I hope to write some more Doropetra/Edeleth content soon.
