(A lone voice whispers)
Into the Mythical UnderMouth
Known as The Dark Abyss
I went
Swirling like a lost Autumn leaf
In strange winds
Heaven sent
Merging like a well-drilled soldier
Into the fine lines
Of the Universe’s timeless dust
I travelled up high
Into the higher kingdoms of The Astral Realms
To mysterious crossroads of The Undreamt
Then to unvisited corners never seen before by others
Into another dimension of Time and Space
Colliding into other faceless atoms
Of golden rusty dust
Where one whispered
She would be my mother
In another life
She would nurture and get me ready for my future wife
Then that special atom flowed on
Farther still I travelled
Crashing still into other atoms as they
Came along
Some confessed they would be my father
Sisters and brothers
But what pinned me and held me transfixed the most
Was that golden moment
Lost among that purple and hue
When a shimmering colourful cloud whispered
Before it too passed by
Like an unearthly ghost
I will be sent forward
Just for you
Forever to be your only true lover
My name is irrelevant for we will be reunited
Over the aeons
Again and again
For we are translucent beings of immortality
And in that moment of magical clarity
I knew I had found all the answers
To all my questions as she too drifted by
Flickering like a wind-blown flame
Towards a glowing light, I could not name
We are but pawns in the Greatest of all Games
But given a supreme supporting cast
Which acts as our deposit or bond
To help love and guide us
Whilst alive
And running around in its many diverse classes
For as long as the Greatest of all Games
Lasts
And then into
The Great Beyond
