Ode to Anastasia

 

(A lone voice whispers.) 

You were born 

In late November

This I know forevermore

And will always remember

For we shall be together

In Nevermore

Even when Death visits

And offers you a drink of his sacrilegious dark wine

 

To end all your days

And time

We shall be together 

Pilgrims in the silent memory of God

Somewhere

But together in the same spaces 

In-Between

And as the soft capricious winds of heavens

Change and dance like a wild Anna Pavlova

Between us

Creating a moving sea of love between our souls

We shall know

We can sing and dance together 

Forever 

And be joyous in each and every form

For ours is a love story

Beyond the norm

Composed in multiforms

and kept safely 

Beyond the Great Pillars 

In a sacred tabernacle

By the Holy Oak Tree 

By the Great Sea

This I know

Because Gabriel

My spirit guide says

You were written

Just for me
