The Medium

THE MEDIUM

a simple soul
the medium
with more clean awareness
no intellectual tedium

when he goes within
when he speaks in tongues
reception is not clouded
by collegiate 101s

he needs no crystal ball
his vision has no surface
but is blessed with depth
with endless purpose

I would assume
Images within appear
sound filters in
music of the spheres

but in trance
there can be cost
trick is   in coming  back
many merlins have been lost

Interesting write, Daver. Sounds as though they do an astral voyage from where some don't return? Can't send you email, won't send you Soupmail, but I've sent you something by land mail.:) Keep well, stay safe, Love, Mikki

They told me not to disturb the medium while he was in trance. It would be dangerous for him. Love, daver

a seer is the medium himself of prophecies; hopefully he does not travel too far and not come back... a most mystical piece, daver.. huggs
