I told him
Sometimes, I am so, so lonely here
Waited for his warm reassurance
But instead he just plainly said,
Get used to it
You were never meant to follow
And I knew then
He was right
And I
was free
Sage
Wisdom Lives
In the distance
A warrior cries
A girl breathes out
A Sage has died
Something Deep’s been brought to life
Unconscious things direct the wise
‘Til Truth reveals Age-Old lies
The Wise then question their label of “wise”
The girl mourns and sighs,
How can I ever trust The Whys?
When their Answers are hidden in such plain sight
And wearing such a believable Disguise…
But
In the distance
A warrior cries
She hears the voice
She knows Inside
Something dead is now alive
A treasure Unearthed from a far-away place
A taste of dark, generational waste
That lived in her while Life she faced
Unknowing that this poisonous Slice
Wound up her soul like ivy vines
From her very First Cry
To her first breath in
Unintentional Parental Sin
But
In the distance
A warrior cries
The girl breathes out
A Sage has died
Something Deep’s been brought to life
The girl breathes in —
Alive again
A Sage reborn
Wisdom lives.
