The Monologue of David

 Press Play.



(A lone voice whispers)


Although 

The Divine Pacatari


Took me tragically over the precarious edge 

Of the final dark mountain


To cross the Silver Bridge 

To witness Heaven's illustrious 


Beautiful fountains


While Star Child Orion

Watched in such profound sadness


From so far away


Riding the endless night sky

So high


With the sacred White Universal Mare 


Rode by Uriel 


Watching

In the Celestial Garden


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


Into the deep colours revolving like spinning tops in this abyss 


I know and pray 

We will be reunited in another lifetime


On another glorious day


To sparkle in such bliss 

Like a rare pair of twinkling diamonds


To prance and dance 

So close together


Like the tiny particles found 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

In this lifetime 


Not a farewell from The Eternal Circle


For our love story will live on

Forever


In a place beyond worlds


In quantum realms 

Places unseen


And when you awaken in the half-light of lucid dreams


In the deep Realms of Sleep


I shall return 

In my only wedding suit

For nothing is truly lost


And even though love has a high price


We will walk 

Together again


Hand in hand 

So soon

One night


The cost of our reunion

Will be our secret reminder


A unique revelation

In the pristine Harvest Moon


For we are all but just

Golden leaves


Spice 

Blown by ravenous thunder 

In God's never-ending Monsoon


For I now know


No one weeps

When reunited in the Labyrinth of Sleep


To be remarried

In The Great In-Between


For living a mortal life


Is just the start of a new honeymoon
