Blessings of Set, Incantation One
Blessings of Set, Incantation One
I am thus a desert
For I am relentless
in my burning passion
Yet my vengeance
can be cold and clinical
For this is the nature
of a desert.
Hot and Cold
married together in holy matrimony
the opposites made compatible
the antisthesis focussed
On one common goal
On one common enemy.
At times I burn myself
My mind ignites
and destroys my will
my purity, my sanity
But worse than that
Is the icy void
where no thought doth stir
where all feeling has fleed.
Thus the two must counterbalance
And I must swing from one to the other.
Unrestrained manic fire
allied with rational clinical ice.
This is the way of the desert.
The mind, the soul
is even deeper
than those who are an ocean
for they have soul,
We have desire
for perfection and freedom
dominance and enslavement
acceptance and discontent
change and continuity.
This is the nature of the Desert
It exists.

I love the words you chose to use for this Lord Viddax, its a profound experience to read it.
And I am glad I did.
And I am glad I did.

Thank you. I do try to give my words some profound power and also high spirited whims that dance across the page.
