Lafayette Whispers

(A lone voice whispers. )


Although 

The Divine Pacatari


Took me tragical over the precarious edge 


Of the final dark mountain


To witness heaven's illustrious fountains


While StarChild Orion

Watched in such profound sadness


From so far away


Riding the endless night sky

So high


With the sacred White Universal Mare 


Watching

In the Celestial Garden


As I look up in this thin fading air and patiently stare


I know and pray 


We will be reunited in another lifetime

On another glorious day


To sparkle


Like a rare pair of twinkling diamonds


To prance and dance 

So close together


Like tiny particles in red wine

In the Holy Silver Communion Cup 


For even though fire and ice


Death and sometimes the misery of time

Will try to destroy our love


These feelings

Will never stop


For ours was just a brief rehearsal


Not a farewell from the Eternal Circle


For our love story will live on

Forever


In a place beyond worlds

A place unseen


And when you awaken in the half-light of dreams


In the deep Realms of Sleep


I shall return 

For nothing is truly lost


Even though love has a high price


When we finally walk 

Together


Hand in hand 

So soon


The cost of our reunion

Will be our secret reminder


A unique revelation

Under the pristine Harvest Moon


For we are all but just

Golden leaves


Blown by ravenous thunder 

In God's neverending Monsoon


For we'll know


No one weeps

When reunited


To be married

In The Great In-Between


For living a mortal life


Is just the start of a new honeymoon
