-I cannot conjure a spell previously cast, the ill wind which has
befallen you, leaving a scattering of memories within its wake,
once treasured and cherished.
And I regret it to have happened to you, what others may feel
reprehensible, therein lies
an evil among us, portraying itself as being benevolent, revealing
itself as otherwise, when we are at our weakest.
No one knows of its intent, what havoc we are left to reap.
And it bereaves me, this bitter pill we are left to swallow, All I have
lost. All I have lost and could never regather. The pieces of me
which lie unkempt, uncleansed, and scattered, burning in
effigy.
Were it to be spoken of, all of which lie now revealed, which leads
to one questioning its relevancy…
Should it have even mattered all of which lie slipped past and out
of reach…
Only a moment spoken of. Only an increment of time.
While there lie many more lying unrevealed until what time it
becomes fixated upon by one’s eyes, who has earned their
recognition…
Were that to be so, the remark now enquired of. Is one to have
been given permission to gain approval…
Why that one and no other, what deeds are left lying unnoticed
and undone. Have they become of little or no importance?
Surely, these have become dark times leading to even darker
days and darker nights.
