New Jerusalem



                 Fairy Princess dreamer alone 
             in the ring of stones

At the end of the Rainbow

Do not let it be the end of faith

Little one, you did not lose your gold, 
it cannot be taken from you

It happened to you, but it was not about you

There are still Unicorns

They are just further out in the foggy mists

As those fall into life's great sleep, 
I will be awake to watch over you, 
Sister, to help you find them again

You will always be part of a Family, 
even if you do not recognize us, yet

You see, selfishness blurs out others, 
and it is easier on the eyes to look upon, anonymity, 
instead of truth reflecting the guilt of unfaithful insanity 
  -
A jealous masochism fighting identity 
in that sleep that has lost its dream

This adversity, perversity, 
could never mean you are not loved, 
these are a separate thing, 
far removed from what is sealed away and kept from 
the distorted hearts- that forgot how to sing, 
to cherish of it's faithfulness keep

There is still love, Family- you being
Sibling of my Eternity, if you will have me,
for our Eternity it shall be
