The Words of The Pagan Priest of λογοτεχνία

Press play before reading.
Salute.




 

(A lone voice whispers)



You 



The true rebels of this new technological generation 



Who have dwelled in grateful gratitude 



In these now rare 

Lands of Phantasia 



And smiled into the face of impending Death 



Daily



With never-ending elation 



You

The midnight or daylight writers or readers 



Scattered like bird seeds

Throughout every known nation 



Glistening stars of such literal inspiration 



Worthy of inaugurating into the Fraternity of Holy

Communication 



Let the Love of Words 



Fly like quivers from Eros's crimson and leather bow 



To strike the sacred golden inscribed bell 



Upon high 




From where all inspiration flows 



And let all demons be 

exsolved  



Separated and purged with quiet exhalation 



On a deeper level



For as long as your life still glows 



Like a Christmas Red Rose



And your heart still beats 



Like one of John Bonham 

Beats



Your soul will forever rise 



For such as you 

Were born 



To never know 

Defeat 



So mote it be 



For

Like the old gods 



Sleeping under the sea's



We pray to the skies 

For you 



So it will be



To spirits of our family and friends 



All around us



As we wander unseen

Circling free



We look to the skies

So it will be



To shadows

Hiding your dreams



We beseech the night

To reveal them 



So it will be
