A Tale of Grief


(A lone voice whispers)


Today
On the fateful fifth of March

Twenty twenty-two


I lost something so special

A moment in time now extinguished and placed in the long rundown grassy ruins 

With so many others



By the Great Grey Castle Walls


A place deep inside that my soul calls home

In the Great In-Between


A place I long ago pledged I'll no longer visit to look or be seen 


For that once treasured spark has announced its retirement



So I'll lay it to sleep near the safe blue zone 

Where it can sleep with so many others


Near my favourite Yellow Keep


A treasure of such irrepressible immense beauty but like all things beaut..........


The End came like a flashing blade strike from a wonderfully skilled knight 


Clad in magnificent silver armour 

Like a true warrior


Woosh and it had vanished


Vanished to othér frequencies and soothsayer's


Beginner's
Beguilers and hellbent on pleasing creatures of the long night


Today isn't sad and meaningless


For I've seen a new bright light on in the distance 


And it has recently waved back whispering telepathically


Come
Challenge me and bring stories and that purple orb



Your Irrecha is safe with me

Your sense of Locca is the same as mine


Come see and maybe we can be happy in time

 

But a sad day indeed


Gifts of Divine Wish Power is an incredible thing but also really painful


As a visionary 
A mystic


Call it what you may


A voice said it would happen and look what transpired today 


A visit to the Great Grey Castle Walls


In the Great In-Between


To walk among fallen friends who no longer stand tall
