Within this deep clearing, a mystical sanctuary surrounded by the long trees of Time's perpetual symphonies, we meet.
Within this clearing, sheltered from Storms
Inside this sacred sanctuary, within this journey
A place beyond the Silence of Humanities long reach
A secret place where the bright blue Sky holds back the shadows of conflict and pains of Yesteryear
A place beyond duty, consequence, or fear.
Instead, immersed for a brief interlude
A time where we simply enjoy each other’s thoughts
Before pulling up our long grey cloaks of separation
And once again venturing forth into the cauldron of life’s ever spinning tapestries
Would you still follow me if I lit a red candle
In this final odyssey home
Would you follow me willingly into the swirling dark
In this brief history of time
Would you grasp my coattails as we trespassed tentatively through all of life's scary parks
As we swim against all the fast-flowing tides
Will you tango and tiptoe past the Tall Man and all his worldly Minions
As we circumnavigate the globe
The new world grid and claimed it as our Dominion
For although we are but lost souls going eventually to She'ol
Would you still just blindly follow me past the awakening powers of a modern AI God
As we walk unashamed together behind the many new pale white political horses
To be wantonly unleashed within the unfathomable darkness as we surely conquer this life and all its occult forces
Forever tasked with painting new poetic masterpieces with apocalyptic energy like Vincent Van Gogh
And then every night
Hidden behind the many enemies money can ever make
Before we dream
Shall we plead to angels and owners of The Book of Secrets
To take us beyond the Black Darkness
We always see when our astral eyes open as our mortal eyes close
To use their invisible hands to tear away the rim before our ever-watchful twin pyres
To show us what truly lies beyond these Books of Lies
Everyone sometimes sees or reads from Television or Social Media
For us to then venture into newer undiscovered lands
To a brave new world
To see the bright lights of two crimson suns and the quartet of multicoloured rainbows illuminating a purple-hued sky
A place where no one no longer dies
A paradise of ever-swirling winds of a whispered profound new Eden
Perpetually emanating from a deep divine so high up above
A sanctuary lost forever within the forgiving green reeds of a new millennium
A place to be reunited with dear old family or friends who never made it to the end
Where nobody no longer cries
To finally sit beside the Holy River to write poetry and sing
And to joyously watch through a silver scrying mirror
As the real world slowly disappears
To walk through the luscious green grass to the Eternal City
To hear the greatest stories never told to human ears
To finally embrace a new realm free from all fears or pity
What says you
Will you come to run in this
forbidden city
