The Wandering Minstrel

Do not follow in my footsteps to discover what I found.

--Zoraidia the Sage

'Everyone's road has a nexus
A path that any can take
Each trail is always an adventure
A future that only you make

Never leave off 'til tomorrow
What you can do today
For the future is always uncertain
So why not just seize the day

Each instant should be treasured
For who knows what is 'round the bend
Every path has a connection
Not only a beginning but an end

Never leave off til tomorrow
What you can do today
For the future is always uncertain
So why not just seize the day

Cherish each second as it comes
For minutes and days will pass
Each one, if not held, will soon be gone
Like sand slipping through an hourglass...'


The forest stillness was broken by the voice risen in song. As the Forestborn woman walked, her steps measured the pace of the music and provided a counterpoint to the melody. As she passed, the notes seem to hang in the air. Even after she was gone, the refrain seemed to echo throughout the woods.

'Never leave off til tomorrow
What you can do today
For the future is always uncertain
So why not just seize the day...'
