WIDE SKY - the Journey continues: The Innocents believed The Land would Always be at peace. Of communities fragmented by conflict & Kingdoms destroyed by war Deep knowing and reverent remembrance Is offered by the solemn Orphans... The loyal subjects look on in disbelief As the Ruler takes off his crown & steps down from the throne Placing a candle before the skull and cross bone Strong winds howl from the void that emerges The fighting floor is open & extends it's invitation To all the sleeping Warriors- who will step forward ? Who will answer the call, who will follow, who will lead ? Who will stall, who will bandage, who will bleed ? Who will inspire the Clan through this tough part of the climb ? Who will love & support the Clan's path, clear away the brush & gather firewood ? Who will laugh & play the Fool, adding joy & poking fun ? Will the wisdom of the Sage guide us, will the Magician transform us? Or will the Destroyer crush & bury candle number Nine ? Who will have the courage of the Seeker & speak the Truth about what it is they see ? Who will panic & flee ? Who will lead the Clan on the next stage of the Hero's Journey ? Who will defend the Kingdom from sneak attack Dragon's (including those subject to arise within all of us - fear, resentment & delusion) Let us remember our Creed ! For each to stand guard over the Solitude of the other, Allowing a wonderful side by side to grow up, So we each can see the other, Whole and against the Wide Sky Let those of us that answer the call - Not allow the Clan to Die !
