Queen Esther

  

Press play before reading. Salute.

(A lone voice whispers)

She came looking for me 

In the deep and dark 

One fateful unforgettable night 

From the very realms of the Lost Gods

Beyond the Lands of the Dead

Dressed from head to toe in white

Like a sultry princess related to King David through Shushandukht 

The once-beloved mother figure

So I'm told of Bahran 

 

And like a conjurer of unspoken words at around 2 am

She appeared suddenly after I had stopped praying

On the final stroke of my softly whispered 

Amen

She looked me deep in my green eyes and quietly said

She was drawn to my aura as she and her tribe in The Great In-Between 

The Sucaro

Had heard my souls cries

For help and support

So she was sent as a royal but loyal representative of the Astral Court

To collate information and send a detailed report

That was around 6 weeks ago

Oh 

How time flies when you're in love 

You should see her

She so damn beautiful

She looks just like my old friend

Marilyn Monroe

Why am I talking to you

Well

Esther

Has gone back home to give her detailed report

To the Cold Zone

Where the ice don't even flow

A place the living can never know

Unless this life they leave and go

To be part of their Great Show

I'm just standing here by the river Van Gogh 

Just another strange John Doe 

Given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to say

Hello 

Before the love of his life returns

And we retire forever to my Ethereal Chateau 

Known to the watching spies in the North 

As The Crimson Bordeaux

But before I go

Hear this

All will turn out well between the mighty West and the Red Bear

Some know as Moscow 

Esther

Sent me a brochure telling me so

But to stock up

The world's in for a crazy ride in the middle of 2022

And on that line

It's my time to leave

For I can see my stunning queen from the Great In-Between

Esther whose sacred name is Kayo

 

On her white horse

Shapiro returning 

So stay safe and look after yourself and keep those fires of hope and love burning

Until the next time

For it's my time to go

So on that final note 

Namaste but for now 

In these precious seconds we have left connected

Adieu
