For a maid

There was a time
you held a world for me
secret and secluded
from mine

It drew me near
as if to explore
ancient ways
in new lands

I cast upon you
my reckoning hope
as a net
upon the sea

To bring a harvest
and draw meat
from the endless
deep

But now my nature
is at an end
your hand
has turned a blade

And cleaved
my dreams to civilize
a universe
for you a maid.
