The Monologue of The Toll Keeper

 


 (A lone voice whispers)


Do you want to hear some whispered rules from the Great In-Between


The Fourth Dimension 

Well, here goes


Number 1


Find an everlasting love song


Knee-deep in lust for a real-life


And make

Number 2


Unrequited love


The Rebellious Song of the Transformational


As you throw away its emotional sharp knife


Make number 3


A layer cake of evocative delicious delights


To be explored and greedily devoured with your dearly beloved


Hidden from the watching dark shadows  

Like thieves all around you


In the middle of any given night


And find number 4


The ancestral strength in midnight memories and ritualistic ceremonies


Of deep meaningful love 


Within echoes from those now out of sight


Ascended so high above 


To regain number 5


The strength to carry on and fight to finally


Find loves hidden highways and as you take flight


To embrace the sacred thought that your Guardian Angels


Always watch over and protect you and your family and friends in every way


Especially at night with their unspoken prayers


And you my beautiful child 

Will be okay 


In all of your life's affairs

Whatever angels or demons 


Some of our earthly concessionaires


For upstairs or downstairs

Whisper or say


When they come out to play
