Original Poetry - The Hermit

IX — The Hermit — IX


She guides the way with her star of twilight
A celestial body of air and wisdom
Of which fair and pure insight reflects
In a blinding white glass prism!

The leading stag her eyes, and her feet the connection
Between our world and theirs—
A realm of introspection
Cast aside are responsibilities, worries, woes, and fears
Eradicated by her lantern
Ashes to ashes
Tears to tears...

Eclipsed by the looming shadow of the Earth
Her staff is steady, a symbol of rebirth
Once her time comes—
and her mind is ready—
She shall travel back with Fortune and Mirth
Atop her white stag
A bastion of clarity
The One who seeks understanding—
Spirituality
That which binds us all at our core
She illuminates the shadows; they trouble her no more!

A seeker of truth with knowledge unparalleled
Of Earth, the Heavens, the Devil in Hell
Unfazed and unfaltering she traverses and roams
Helping those who seek her on their inward journey
Home...

Her name known by One with whom she was meant to be
With forever, bound by eternity
And as the passage of time swallows the mortals below
THEY shall look down
hand-in-hand
And sparkle with knowledge
Of a time
and experiences
That occurred long ago...
