Magickal Realism

I hope I never have to do this again.

For Ronan Dewayne:
I am a prayer to the heavens
and I am a prayer to the Earth.
I am a prayer to the Old ones, to living, the dying and birth.
There will be moments of mourning
and there will be moments of tears.
And in each of these sorrows
we have the glory of facing our fears.
This world gives you glory and honor.
This world gives you sorrow and pain;
What there is is all we we can offer
should you wish to dwell here again.

Son of son and king of kings
lay to rest as the harvest sings
It is through you that we survive
and by you that we are alive -
When you came we were blessed,
and you passed through this life a welcome guest.
The Good Ones have you, the Neighbors hold
we give you to them - be brave! be bold!
We must grieve you,
we must let go -
In another season, please come back, there is great love to know

- I created all of this today.
