The Monologue of the Dagartha

 The Monologue of the Dagartha

(A lone voice whispers)

To you all

From childhood to adulthood 

We the Dagartha

Have been with you 

Just standing hidden unseen

Whispering advice from The grey shadows 

Of the Great In-Between 

Sending words of hope like much-needed sounds from ringing golden bells

From the Eternal Spring

Praying 

You'd see the light and turn away from what's not right 

Or deep sorrow you could awaken

To suffer with

In endless sleepless nights

Under its spell

To get lost in a maze with others 

Blindly walking the path

Of the Forsaken 

So if you want to live in peace and avoid the clutches of hell

To avoid the forsaken pathways filled with grief

Listen to those voices and mine

and embrace their tone

And know

We follow and you're never alone

From the dawn of childhood to adulthood 

Through all mysteries which may try to bind

We guide

For we are the Dagartha

From the Rock and Harbour

The Hidden Wood

Sent to guide

Whoever we could
