Press play before reading.
Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
I may be wrong
You may think you're an exception
For you're so strong
But
Nothing lasts forever
For the world
You once knew
Will someday burn
Like Notre-Dame Cathedral
Signaling your life's own insurrection
For even loyal hands like yours
Will become weak
Trying to master the ebbs and flows
In keeping the grand balance of turning
Your Great Wheel
And living
Each and every week
With all you know
For each person has a Sacred Wheel
Their spirit slowly turns
Some slow
Some fast
Some may stop and start
Some may last
But the Sacred Wheel must nevertheless turn
For the White Candle of Order
Love and Light
To burn
Or chaos death and endless night
Will return to corrupt
From the lips
Of The Omnious Devils Urn
For
Nothing physical lasts forever
Love
Relationships
Life
Even Friendships
For all things have a sell-by date
When your soul leaves this life
And opens a new gate
But poetic
Memories and emotions
Will always remain
Since the bright stars will one day fade away
And a familiar hand will wave and welcome you
Across
Into a new strange land
But until then
Know this as our parting kiss
Nothing lasts forever
This I've learned
So I wish the turner of your Sacred Wheel
The Higher You
Blessings of the heart and soul
To continue
And to always remember
.
No matter how bright or bleak it seems
Make it your goal
Each and every week
To give that sacred wheel
Another turn
No matter how small
So the White candle of Order
Love and Light
Burns
And make poetic
Memories and emotions
In a cruel world
With all its twists and turns
The only things to try to earn
Before you too
Like me
To here
Returns
With Charon
Deaths version
Of Lord Byron
We all call
The Ferryman of Hades
The deliverer to this hell hole
Where all memories of an old life fades
