After years i awoke from the deepest dream. Wandering through my overgrown garden, left in perfect tended order, before my enforced sleep. Once all flowering,with sweet scented flowers. Now mirroring my life, the flowers are overtaken by hanging, thorny brambles. Will my garden ever be clear of straggling invaders? While i slept beautiful things did i dream. Flowers growing in slow motion,before my very eyes. Snow falling thickly, smoothly covering the surface of sundial,trees and me.Though i did not heed the cold,it covered me as i slept like a white quilt. Out of that dream, a dark blue bird perched in a tree, close to me. Sweet lulaby did he sing, to sooth me as i slept under my blanket of snow. Melodious, rich and fruitful was his song, echoing around the garden of silence. Though he sang in birdspeak, i sleeping, understood everyword. Singing of his lost love, this is his story. Far from across the sea i came, with my mate. In springtime i sang my best songs to her in homage of our love. One day as i made our nest in a yew tree, to bring more of my kind into the world, and add joy and happiness, my mate was shot by uncaring people. Bereft, alone and heartbroken was what i felt. Lonely, doleful songs i did sing to mourn the loss of my mate. For a full year i sang this way, till the following spring. Forgiveness for the grievous harm i had endured, soon was in my heart. No longer could i seek another mate, so i resolved to live and sing to you men of destruction, to try to bring you the free, all consuming love, locked safely here within my heart. So sleep without disturbance sweet stranger. May you live in harmony all the days of your life, and let not worry knit your brow ever. I will remain at your side watching as you slumber, giving you song and love. ''Each soul is potentialy divine..the goal is to manifest that divinity'' |
