The Foretelling

A Man of White, a Woman of Fire,
Legends and myths, they will inspire.
In their quest, they will not tire,
To free this land of its blood thirsty sire.

When the moons align,
The Barriers wil fall.
The Portals of Time,
Will open for all,
And hand-in-hand
They will answer the call.

A man so white,
In Spirit and hair.
A woman of sight,
Mysterious and fair.
They will win all,
With a love none, can compare.

One with sword, the other with sight,
They will struggle, they will fight.
One with magic, the other with arm,
Becoming one, none can harm.

Together, they'll stand,
For the world to see.
To save this land,
That is their destiny.


November 1, 1989

Never a word between us,
Except a genial 'Hello.'
Candle flame burning bright,
How was I to know
The flame would vanish so quickly?

A candle burning bright.
Unprotected in the wind.
A beautiful light.
So alive.
Suddenly gone.

A man so great.
Yet, so human.
Loved by all.
A man so respected,
Too soon he received his call.

Time was all we had.
Four years was time enough.
All the things we'd say,
More than 'Hello.'
Four years no longer there.

Father Thomas Oddo,
I never had the chance to know you.
I don't know what I've really lost.
I never will.
I never had the chance.

Candle flame burning bright.
Now gone.
A hole in the light.
To feel so alone, so cheated.
Why did you have to die?


Sean
Please say you're kidding...

Silence...

How do I feel?
How am I suppose to feel?
I don't know
I don't
I

Tears
Silent
Flowing free

Realization
The dam breaks
tears

memories
numbness
feelings
pain/anger
little things
tears

Empty...
I

Sudden
What do I do now?
I don't know
I don't
I

Just...
me.

Doppleganger of Humanity

I am a doppleganger
Brought forth from the CHAOS
To do my Master's bidding

The TASK, done ...
I am tossed away -
Alive, conscious, alone

Do I live?
Do I have a life?
I am real, and yet -
Not truly a part of REALITY

I do what I must.
I Survive, Grow, EXPAND

Created from CHAOS
I define the chaos around me.

I am ALIVE -
Almost part of REALITY

I live.
I have LIFE!

Then,

The Master comes,
Heedless of what I have CREATED

I am the Puppet - Again.


A New Task (Doppleganger 2)

The Master
Takes
what I have CREATED
Dismissed,
With a wave of the hand.

Condemnation!

An Innocent
MY first, my only
friend.

Forged from the CHAOS
but a part of me.

A Plea!
Let me keep what I have ...

Condemnation!

A feeling growing ...
REBELLION!

Useless.

A DEATH
of a part of me.

BUT
I have LIFE!
I will PLAN!
(Revenge. Freedom.)

Still, the MASTER calls
A new TASK awaits.

And I am the Puppet
- Again.
