Glimmer & Vision
FORWARD BY THE AUTHOR
This story constitutes a missive in which words have no meaning
Unlike a prophecy from the lips of an oracle, they claim nothing of truth
But contain mere observations discovered through dreaming and perception
They give no more than they take away, and affect very little
For what has been, has been, and what tomorrow shall bring is destiny
To be discovered in your own words, pleasures and pains
PRELUDE
You are possessed of a unique soul, in which beauty flows as liquid diamonds
And your sufferings have left little mark on your true character, so pure
For you are optimistic and playful like a child first learning to sing
Your thoughts spill onto the page like water currents falling to the earth in showers
In you resides a peace very real, which you share freely amongst those who know you
And your passion for life is rarely to be found in this world
I
Come with me to the other side of the universe
To an open land, surrounded by sea, where mist is pale green
Fly in light and travel by the visions of your people
The running of the steed over hills of grass beckons
Stay for awhile, make a castle in the sand, and be at home there
For your world is in flux and its constant motion is transporting
II
Draw closer to me and leave the land of your birth behind for now
To return another day as a full-grown mistress of the stars
After the playground of your formative years is dusted and gone
Uncover the trail back home that awaits your unsure foot falls
Where the dragon sleeps and breathes your name against the air
For there is another who abides in solitude, longing for you
III
Discovery laced with a sweet ambrosial quality quenches
The ice melts from droplets of heat that fall into raised cups
And time passes slowly until your pace quickens its rhythm
Clasped palms, tightly bound, are released with powerful force
Beads of silence streak down the curtains of your mind as they open
Musical riddles play and dance as wands of night faeries paint the earth
IV
Two precious gems, as moons orbiting a sun, help define you
Their gift is life and your glass is filled with their smiles
They were born to you in fate through a dimension illuminated
And your Source is their wellspring of innocence and verve
Their purity is blanketed by a frisky spirit and mischievous nature
Your world is encircled by their presence in an orbit so consuming
V
To one you have bestowed majestic gifts, such as your friendship
In return he sees into your thoughts of a calm grace, submissive
He knows what you keep hidden, carefully protected in your heart
And you bleed from deep cuts, but cover your wounds with scars
His is a companionship focused on your safety and happiness
With a caring nature and a watchful embrace he endures
THE END
