Once in a land far away. Was a woman she knelt to pray She prayed for a child who could be The key to a new dawn of ages
The baby was conceived Naturally of course By union of bodies By lustful souls The scrolls foretold the child would grow to be A pawn in the game of prophecy
A peacemaker A son of the goddess Most high Her diamond, glowing bright in the sky But there would be a price to be paid Not all the cards could be played The son could never know How it should play out Or his mind would be full of doubt
When the child was in his teens Daydreaming in front of computer screens His father asked him what he knew Of the woman dressed in blue
The boy replied and sighed Everyone knows the story Of the man the white rabbit prince The peacemaker between heaven and hades The lover who rescues his love from the flames But who's heart can never be tamed Or be told because he would go mad End up sad and old Not being able to forefill the will of the goddess
Then the father began to stress The sons importance nevertheless, The son had an inclining his dad wasn't letting on the full story So he had to find one He looked and looked And searched and searched Down dale and over birch Became a scientist Overworked
He didn't believe in any more stories Of space and time Myths and legends were not on his mind Til he met a woman Beautiful and free A spirit of life's mystery
She would tell him stories Read him verse He fell in love with her So much worse Than ever a man has fallen before
But what he didnt realise is she had depression It was her curse Even with his love it seemed To get worse The stories she told Grew ever more dark and bold Until she took her life But not before he had taken her for a wife
Meanwhile the world had become full of strife Wars and famine sapped Gaia's life The earth was failing It's life support System grew weak
But the man was too aggrieved to notice He wouldn't go outside His love lost he could never hide as the world was falling apart so was his heart
He saw a child crying outside his window Though And went to comfort The boy Orphaned by war Then the man realised something needed to done As he surveyed The desolate landscape he prayed To the goddess of blue
She granted him of vision Where he'd have to choose the life of the world Or the lover he knew He cried out you ***** You goddess of the insane I will not make the choice I will not be to blame For my lover is my heart but this world has born many souls Including mine What right have I to choose Which side to win which side to lose I want to be happy
Frought with pain He made his decision he overcame
He chose to solve the problems of mankind Preaching to them and showing them sciences Mysteries in one Stories of his humanity being different but ultimately the same Being one That on top of the people being tired of war Made peace the law He sometimes wished he'd chose The other choice But then he realised He hoped he supposed he'd be able with all his knowledge And wisdom That he'd be able to help her if they'd ever meet again in hades Or wherever he'd be able to save the woman he loved from the same fate
As he died of old age He prayed that hed be reborn With the wisdom of a sage So when he was reborn into Hades shades
He grew to be a wise man still But he always felt something was missing Until he saw a woman Clothed in azure She was mysterious but he sensed her heart was pure He was struck by her allure So went over to meet her She told him she was the queen Of this land that stretched out to the sea the citadel of tears was her residence The sage asked why was it called the citadel of tears She replied because I have been a queen for the longest time But I have never found a husband to be mine And there is ghost in my dreams that cries Because she is lost In a sea of sadness Madness her veil of midnight Hiding her face She cries for the husband she lost Her touch is cold like the frost In my dreams
The sage held her hand Kissed on the forehead it was more than he could stand To see a woman Clothed in pain He imagined her tears Falling like rain He said I will pray For a vision today To save you from your dismay
When he slept A dream crept Into his mind Of a man and a woman very much in love But the woman was stung with a curse her mirth was strangled With tears With overblown fears That took her life And left him lonely With only the wisdom To help those around the land But now he had planned to save her Then the dream ended The sage was resolved to save the queen To speak to the ghost In her dreams
So the next night He held the queens hand tight As she fell asleep Hours passed she began to moan and weep as if in pain He prayed he asked the goddess of blue to go into her dreams And he began to lose consciousness And fall asleep In the dream the ghost was weeping The sage approached her gently he asked her why she was crying Fearing her reproach she replied I am lost and I have lost the one I loved That is why I had you come and find me now you must set me free I am the queens subconscious we are the same person And we have been waiting for you husband of mine How do I know this to be true asked the sage The ghost clasped his hand and lifted her veil And he knew her face It was his wife from the previous life He didn't notice the frost the cold of the dream was thawing melting around them Smoke was forming then licks of flame began to burn But he wasn't afraid He embraced her and kissed her wildly Flames surrounded them Touching their bodies but not hurting them flames of passion Igniting their souls
The queen and the sage woke from the dream together Knowing they were meant to be with each other for forever.
