The Watcher from The Palodorian Green Sea

  


(A lone voice whispers)


Lost between two shimmering portals 

By the Palodorian Green Sea


I once looked for the golden light 

From the metaphysical tent


Of the golden-haired warríor 


A beautiful descendants of the spiritually powerful

Cherokee


And saw over dystopian planes of existence

Where she lay


Remembering

The last time we spoke was on the fifth of May


It rained and I could sense she was in pain


So I sent over a red raven letter  

In it, I wrote in bright golden letters


Rise up fire girl  

And get better


Shine those incredible eyes upon the world

Seize your strength and glory and tell your story


Use poetry  

Prose and whatever else but you need to


To cleanse yourself


Today as I light my white candles of peace 

And remember a few souls



That I once had the pleasure to know 

But no longer grow


I think of her alone in that tent  

Surrounded by books by Whitman


Silver and glass


And wonder  

Where do we go from here


Can I rekindle a friendship in her darkest hours


Will her heart allow us  

If I ask

  


By a strange coincidence 

She sent back a red raven letter  


In it 


In big letters

Was handwritten in silver ink  



Where do we go from here

For I've shed so many wet tears


Been in between the light and dark

Between two almighty powers


Saw things to make your soul sink  



And as I look now from my scrying mirror 

Through the upside-down AlunaWorld


I can see her smoke from a campfire rising

And deep down inside


I'm just so glad to see that she's still surviving

As I pen my letter but like all complications in life


I'm struggling to find words that still need saying 

Before replying

 

For a silent painful question always  cries out 

From my soul in fear


A low whisper that says


Has our deep love disappeared 

And where do we go from here
