wanderlust

 
dizzying wanderlust causes me to skywalk
entertaining the winds with my spell talk
rainbow magic combined with ancient wyrding way
speaking to the trees with a breeze caressing their leaves
sending private messages through their roots divining deep down below
reaching deeply into the earth

they are sentient beings recording what time knows
this is a sacred portal
connecting with the old spirits I can hear the drumming
they've seen many things

the rise of civilizations who traded wisdom for technological advances
we of the older ways learned early on what plants were for healing
and what was good for sustenance

we all gloried when the red moon Ra rose on the plains
we erected pyramids in his honor it was a peaceful life coexisting with herbivore dinosaurs and the mighty t rex who hunted like a wolf in a pack
whose job was valuable devouring the sick and dead from the planet

our clans were mighty we scripted a code of behavior
taught to us by the mighty Ra
sacrifice was part of our sacred language
our priestess chose virgin sacrifice volunteers
who were honored to be chosen
then one day descending upon us beings
we didn't recognize they didn't understand the rules of our peaceful society

they interjected an old magic and introduced illness that affected the mighty rex and all plants Ra was furious he destroyed the incoming strangers evacuating our peoples and delivering us to the sacred garden he provided

we were very saddened Ra had visions
this wasn't the first time his dream was interrupted he threw meteors but like a fungus these being took hold the sun god
erased all evidence of their existence
their genetics were flawed
and they lacked respect
an old society who he had blew life into
and our Father did his best to teach them the ancient arts
then one day they revolted
and thought to judge our Father faulty using his magics against him
he left them behind in part though he remained in spirit
being a part of the planet itself
and the heavy dark around them
they have fallen so far from the truth
they only respond logically
when he has explained it has no quotient when it comes to love
there are some who are willing to learn
they don't want to be assigned a mate for procreation purposes
and have followed him here for that elusive soulmate
they have the will of the warrior
and are willing to walk the worlds with our father
