The Daltikia

(A lone voice whispers.)

If your hope fades 

And the world seems unrepentant 

Look for me in the stars 

Call to me 

For even though 

Where I am now 

 

Is too far to cross 

Whisper my name in any given mirror 

And I will come 

For my envoys 

The Metikia

Are within the scrying glass

Old ones with broken hearts 

Patroling the Demarcation Zone 

Between your world and mine

Black crows 

Hiding in the dark winds 

Of the 

Great Who Knows 

For in your loneliest moments 

Looking out of your life's window

Whenever you feel left behind by the world

Call  to me through my envoys 

The Metikia 

So I can appear in the shadows 

To hold your soft hand 

And together 

Endure any storm 

As the depressing winds 

Of humanity blow
