Give it to the Guardian

At next step,
Moss logs and leaves
Growing wet and cold beneath
Glowing soft green
Echoes of frogs slow down
As tendrils of light
Unfold into glittering gold
That glimmers through the night
And there before the rosey bard
A guardian appears
He heard about the women
And the whispers of their fears
And so the guardian comes knocking on the rose door
To share a secret elixir so she will not weep anymore
She asks the bard with a grin
Do you only seek pleasure that’s within?
Why waste time valuing only what’s this?
When in death is also such sumptuous bliss.
Seeking her teeth into a strawberry bite
The glowing white guardian disappears with delight
Leaving only a feather, A bone and a quill
As the poet writes she remembers it still
As the poet speaks, her voice leads them close
To the home of the guardian deep in the oak
The heartwood of the tree
It holds but a drop
But gathered in a chalice,
Nothing will stop us
From reclaiming energy
From all he broke
Of turning the wheel
And then spinning the spoke
Returning to flow,
I send this reprieve
Accepting my suffering so I may release
Sun and Moon as my guide
Rose bard bade it so
Give it to the guardian
And let that shit go
Sun and moon as my eyes
Rose bard bids it so
Give it to the guardian
And let that shit go
Give it to the guardian
And let that shit go
Give it to the guardian
Give it to the garden
