ODESSA & LISBETH (A Bedtime Story) (PART 1)

ODESSA & LISBETH
(A Bedtime Story)

And ...
Her wings spread
Broad and black
Folded on her back
Her feet bare
Gripped the narrow ledge
Naked, her breast hung slack
Her long dark hair
Hung to the side, in a knot
She knew the shadows fall
Her sanctuary, she watched
Eyes and flesh as grey as clouds
Days not so fair
The plague had run it's course
The skies warn, a faraway storm
But the tempest below
Has finally passed
The cries have died
The clocks have stopped
Their mechanical wine
And all for not
It shall disappear
A thousand times a thousand years
No care stirred, inside her heart
But there was one
Her heart so cried
There was one ...

Umongst her and her sisters was an unwritten sacred code wrapped in myth, mystery, and half truths. The general consensus amongthe believers is that each and every one of us has a Guardianwho watches over us. Who keeps us safe until that time our soul is called back through the Great Rift. This has only been the case when this dimensional sphere was first formed and all the souls created here were new. Once a soul crosses over and crosses back in a reincarnated host they no longer have a being who watches over them. But even though this dimension is many millions of years old and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, there are still new souls that incarnate to this plain of existence. Another misunderstood truth is that the coupling of soul and Guardian occurs at the birth of the host. Actually, the coupling can take place at any time in the life of the host. It is not something so easily explained ...
A Guardian feels a magnetic pull, a calling, if you will, which leads her to one in need of watchful guidance, and the bond is so made and is kept until the death of the mortal host. 
And so it was with, 
Odessa and Lisbeth.
