Have you heard the Call?

 

 Blessed be. 

Velumbound. 

A deeply emotional, rhythmic transmission exploring themes of eternal love, grief, and spiritual reunion.

By repeating the entire opening stanza at the end, the text mirrors the psychological state of grief. 

A continuous loop of memory, pain, and the comforting promise of an eventual reunion.

(A lone voice whispers) 

There is a call deep on high

It whispers in the darkness and constantly cries

It speaks of divided parts entangled but standing whole

An unconquerable timeless love forever aflame 

Between two now lonely souls

I was once yours, it whispers, and you were always mine

Simultaneously, we might be separated by the great veil, but we’ll still stand together as one

Watching the crestfallen stars until the fall of time

For together we are indivisible by death, and all that remains

For we two carry our golden chains even though their burdens may cause temporary pain

We are but just lonesome wanderers awaiting reunion

But one day we shall again be as one; you’ll just have to be patient and wait until my time is run

Such longing flows through my veins

The one I still miss who could no longer remain

It’s but a hollow need I really could not casually dismiss, as your soft caresses I still really just miss

I can only but look forward to a new tomorrow 

When we shall once again meet in a new Summerland 

Devoid of pain, cancer, or sorrow

To be reunited in halls of immeasurable secrets where we shall no longer grow old 

And all our love shall be reborn and surrounded by lights 

Of shimmering silver and gold

I visited a medium on the fall of the last Full moon, and Shirley said my other half still waits in the dark

She stands lonely too with a broken heart that still pines

So Julia

This is my message for you

One day beyond the mists of time

In a new place filled with tranquillity for all to behold.

All our stories and adventures shall be retold

For ours is a love which shall still grow, as we are inescapable souls

Irredeemable we may still be 

Full of mortal faults and mistakes, but blessed be by the lights of Goddess Albina

Beyond the Great Wormwood Star

Unconquerable Souls who will once again walk as one

It whispers in the darkness and constantly cries

It speaks of divided parts entangled but standing whole

An unconquerable timeless love forever aflame between two now lonely souls

I was once yours, it whispers, and you were always mine

Simultaneously, we might be separated by the great veil

But we’ll still stand together as one, watching the crestfallen stars 

Until the fall of time

For together we are indivisible by death, and all that remains

For we two carry our golden chains even though their burdens may cause temporary pain

We are but just lonesome wanderers awaiting reunion

But one day we shall again be as one; you’ll just have to be patient and wait until my time is run

Such longing flows through my veins

The one I still miss who could no longer remain

It’s but a hollow need I really could not casually dismiss

As your soft caresses I still really just miss

I can only but look forward to a new tomorrow 

When we shall once again meet in a new Summerland

Devoid of pain, cancer, or sorrow

To be reunited in halls of immeasurable secrets where we shall no longer grow old 

And all our love shall be reborn and surrounded 

By lights of shimmering silver and gold
