Raphium series~the communal pools of knowing

 
hush little flower don't be frightened
we are just curious about you
come spend some time with us

blossom your truth upon light pulses
enter the pools of communal knowledge
your soul undressed
you're home among us at long last...rest

my soul lay bare finally free of my armor
it's been such a long war separated from my peoples
big tears roll down my face
my warrior pride rises and I hide
solemnly the host waits

come Crimsin be one among your own kind
no longer a misfit of grand design
the long lost child of fate

we realize out of necessity--
you have evolved in survival skills
relax again I say

with a great sigh I rest in the pools of knowing
while my host family gathers around me
