Bless the Child
‘I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.I was weak, yet not unblessed.Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.One night I dreamt a white rose withering,a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.And witnessed the beauty of the beast.’
Where have all the feelings gone?Why has all the laughter ceased?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?Gone back in time to bless the childThink of me long enough to make a memoryCome bless the child one more time.
How can I ever feel again?Given the chance would I return?
I’ve never felt so alone in my lifeAs I drank from a cup which was counting my timeThere’s a poison drop in this cup of ManTo drink it is to follow the left hand path.
‘Where have all the feelings gone?Why is the deadliest sin – to love as I loved you?Now unblessed, homesick in time,soon to be freed from care, from human pain.My tale is the most bitter truth:Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul’s nothing but a name…
The Child bless thee & keep thee forever.’
