Stranger in a Burnt Land

What's real are the Lady of the Forest and also the Fairy Dancer but don't make any noise around the Fairy Dancer as she is very shy and will stop dancing.  The Lady of the Forest is elusive but the light grows as you get closer to her.  Music comes in very soft sweeps of strings and you hear it before you see her.  When she comes into view, there are many creatures around her as none who find her ever want to be anywhere else.

I know how to find the forest.  I don't know how to find anything outside it but I don't think it matters anymore.  Before playing, there's always the thought of who will hear it but it's only important in the forest.  If they wanted to understand outside, they already would.

So it's unusual as time means almost nothing in the forest.  The trees laugh unless you talk of centuries.  Space means nothing as there are places but all of them are still in the forest while everything outside the forest has been burned by savages.

Notes come off a piano sometimes like they're falling water but many times with the guitar it's like an Indian War with arrows flying everywhere.  The Indians weren't savages as they knew how to live outside the forest without burning it.

How far can you go with something when you don't know how to do it and generally the answer is that's the way to go the farthest of all.  In doing that, you finally learn the language of the creatures with the fluid that gives immortal life but no-one understands what you're saying anymore and think you're crazy.

But then a kid kills seven people because he can't get a girlfriend and I know I'm not crazy.  I will stay inside the forest with my Lady and the Fairy Dancer.
