Starlght shines on dark hair,

light refracting here and there.

What's behind those closed eyes?

I wonder the wheres and whys

that must be there in her mind,

Deeds to be done, brave and kind?

Or does she dream of war and strife,

the things she did, in her darker life?

Will we ever know?

Will she ever show

the splendor that is our Xena.
