#CleanWIP Clint stood with Emily and sang, Bringing In The Sheaves. When the song ended, they sat. Pews scraped across the wood floor.

Clemons, across the aisle, still leered at Emily. She squirmed and lowered her head.
A man who proposed to three women, deserved no respect.
Walking down the gravel road, my memories filtered through the hourglass of time; I missed your sweet song. I passed the old mill stream; the ripple of the water brought it back to life. I stopped to hear you sing, one more time. #CleanWip

Then all eyes turned to Kieran. He cleared his throat and stood at his place.
“I could think of nothing to give ye, my lady, so I thought I might sing ye a song instead. My own mother taught me this one. ’Tis one of my first memories o’ her.”#MercysGift
The sea pulses like my blood for you,

The moon’s but a shadow of your light.
The warped boards of the dock
Drum deeply to our hearts.
Come! Dance! Fill the air,
With the rhythm of our feet.
Leap, spin, away and back.
Held closely in my arms.
