Does visiting a medium change your life perspective forever?

Does visiting a medium change your life perspective forever?


Have you visited one?


Title:

RĂªves de Miss Applegate

(Dreams of Miss Applegate)


(A female voice whispers)


I can still see her 

Old Marie Laveau

Dressed in motherly blue


I can't pretend

In my scrying mirror


Looking back 

And smiling 


Summoned to haunt me 

From when I visited 

Big Mama Aurelia


Somewhere out on the water village, of the Grand Bayou


For she announced the end

Of me being single


And a time and place

Of happiness 

I still cannot see


Where I'll mingle


When the great Kamadeva, will walk in 

Like a proud Captain Jake

And tempt me to sin


In new 

Where's and how's

The what if's and so's


So, sometimes I stand dressed in my Mama's old white wedding dress


Looking in my long black and gold mirror 


Pleading to know my fate


In what year, 

Month or day


Will she come see me? 


Before each winter's year ending, snow

And whisper


This year


This year, the waiting ends

Josefina


So I can celebrate the overthrow


Of another phase of living lonely in Hades

But until then


I'll just go back to masquerading on my life's only mission


On my heart's beating crusade 


Looking for true love

Before I too fade away


Is this half existence 

The price you pay


When you listen to what mediums say?
