"The Psychopomp’s Embrace" No judgement from the fallen unseen angels credited with scores to safely harbour lost passing ships that crush souls in dark night ferrying love the precious token of graces sorely paid, the return, a prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages delivered by the sublime in misty stages rushing across deep reflective pools like hushed mirrors echo tears that drop like pearls embroidered on the satin lips warmth like watered ink slowly seeping, the coolness softly touched by a burning kiss drinking recompense in, forever in, across a blank unlit canvas then, without warning, upward motion the darkness kisses closed the windows on those sleepwalking suede convincing eyelids, no time to speak no more talking crushed violets and silver ultra messages marked by unseen fingers walking along the cool satin plains of a throat that no longer sings nor breathes but allows escape for revenant soul to live, to spark an aura turns inward to embrace the dark Psychopomp’s Grace and through the mirrors lost knights come riding through two and two the higher self, shatters the mirror leaves the web leaves the loom (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) “Psychopomp” / The Tea Party https://youtu.be/qX860oJo6Yc “Distant singing is heard.
