The Ballad of The Recalled. A passage from the hidden books of the Goddess Diana.

(A lone voice whispers)


Within a silent dream-like whisper just after midnight


I once heard your faint calls


You whispered so softly preaching in the half-light


That silvery gulf of divinity between us


With such quite majestic thunderous proclamations of sacred truths


Be a vivid illumination  

You confessed


For the world is still so beautiful if you really look below the dark frontiers of bleeding despair


A divine kingdom awaits


Just hiding beneath the many disgraceful layers of political spin


Crushed dreams and depressing days where once rapturous hearts will unfortunately tear


But you are all still a child of a universe unseen


You all have a god-given right to still dare to cling onto dreams


So learn to nurture all your strength in cold days of misfortune and strengthen through faith and profound conviction


Your protective shield to always try to redeem


Dispell all those unspoken lies with a wide smile which may hang like a hangman's noose in friendless jealous green eyes


For your merciful and miraculous heart has always been yours to willingly surrender


Its virtues of kindness and heroism are your own mighty defenders


Just don't be deceived by the many false pretenders


In these long days of ever-growing darkness and receding lights


In the middle of this


Your own version of one of the universes long nights


Don't mirror the tilt of low souls


Into deep icy pools filled with many visitors to Dante's heartlands


But be a hypnotic beacon in what you choose to sing or write


Ignite like an exploding thunderous New Years Eve firework


All the visitor's inquisitive minds as they quietly venture and gather


Sitting hidden or standing  

Unspoken into sight


Inspire hope and give them an unconscious smile


For them to carry away freely into these dark morose nights


I can always remember listening to that soft voice patiently


And now a thousand years later


I'm trapped and held like a Stockholm conditioned prisoner in your all-consuming singularity


For I'll always be yours beyond society or notoriety


Passionate for new bells that now chime


From here into infinity


Bells now which rule our twinned endorphin-filled minds


For we now survive enshrined beyond judgemental scopes of any mortal kind


Eternally blowing in new winds which always provides


Now we are young and free


You once said the universe was always ours to conquer


And within each silent whisper when I still feel and hear your nightly calls from your shrine


Up high in Mother Moon


Once worshipped by so many pagan followers before the fall of man


Regardless of fears of ownership or irreducible complex complications


I'll always climb over these metaphorical grey undulating walls regardless of the fall


Just cursed to try to reply


To you my predetermined soul-flame


Just hidden in the meandering shadows


Whispering through your channelled rhymes


As I feel the exquisite familiar torment that signals and announces with a huge emotional and spiritual pull why my spirit was restored


As my soul is dutifully reminded it's being subtlety recalled
