Guides and Guided

--Guardian and Guide--

We grew like the forest children..

Wild ones of the jungles...

To grow up into another life...

One where the trees could be seen...

through the steel and glass of the lifeless dark city...

Paired again in this world like in the last...

We followed the panther from dusk till dawn...

We two friends to the end...

One the guide...

The other the guardian...

Bonded by friendship for all time...

We roamed from this life to the next...

with the summer's sapphire skies in out eyes...

We wandered fighting like always...

the ones who would dare to harm either one of us...

We worked like one...

guarding one another..

For if one of us were to be lost...

the bond would be severed the magick broken...

Out of sorrow and loss the other would soon perish...

For one can not exist with out the other...

The panther decreed it to be long ago...

with a blink of his wise eyes...

Sent to protect...

and guard our tribe...

Even though our tribe was no longer there.

--Amber Prophecy--

We moved like midnight upon the drowning day;

like cats stalking the hidden shadows.

We were the evening with out the stars.

Silent as the summer’s breeze,

and a quick as lightning.

We prowled the tribal lands;

protecting our people,

even though our tribe was no longer here.

We guarded their phantom presence.

We,

the guide, and guardian.

The wise one and the watchman.

Bonded lives lived and to be lived;

to serve and protect in this life as in the last.

As decreed by the panther and owl long ago,

with a blink of their golden eyes.

-- As Told --

We were chosen...

decreed with a single blink of topaz eyes...

when the people sang in tune with the earth...

we were the pick of the panther and owl...

life after life...

our paths crossed and became one...

we..

the wiseman and watchman...

the guide and guardian...

we moved out of the falling jungles...

fell from the shrinking forests...

into the iron grip of the dead cities...

we lamented for our tribes that lay lost...

but we moved on to protect the lands we now lived...

and where to live in...

we moved together like the wind...

but our shadows resembled the animals spirit we saw...

one the owl...

and the other the panther...

-- Lost in the Stream --

The stream sang..

as it ran by the rock I sat upon...

lost in it's flight I stared...

the crisp air tickling my nose...

and playing with the strands of my braided hair...

I sat and listened to the song...

the wind...

the water...

the leaves...

and the wisdom of the trees...

--Night Wind--

We moved like the panther stalking the night...

into the shadows we hunted...

I listened and saw within the darkness...

and like the panthers eyes made it light...

You guided me with elder wisdom...

like the owl gliding through the evening...

We moved in this time...

as in the last...

As a single person...

into the city...

Until this life has ended..

Then into the next we will find each other again...

and move like the night...

Two figures...

The panther and the owl in our shadows...

The guide and guardian...

-- Raven --

Indigo raven...

sweep in the evening with your wings...

you ride with the silent wind...

to your castle on high...

there you perch...

and watch the sleepers of the night...

feeding them dreams...

until well past the morning light.

--Twin Stars--

We born to one star...

twins under the moon...

a warrior..

a loyal scholar...

we fought under the same sign...

and died to pass our skill on...

we fell into chaos at first...

but we shined as we moved...

then we saw a light...

and our birth right...

became ours....

and then we shined even more...

the wiseman...

the warrior...

under the same star.

~~Guardian, Guide, and Watchman~~

Sapphire eyes,

amber eyes,

and brown eyes.

Jungle nights,

feel the heat.

Hear what I hear;

the watchman waits,

as does the guide.

Standing both at your side;

you are never a single person,

never alone.

The Jaguar is me;

protector,

myterious watcher.

The guide is the wolf;

teacher,

with indefinate wisdom,

wiseman.

The watcher is the owl,

from high atop,

in the tower.

Watching the guardian,

and guide,

as they protect the tribe.

~~One Cusp Twin Gone~~

You were the water...

I was the air...

I inhaled the lilac scent deep...

as you watched the ocean horizon...

you were the wave that touched many shores...

I was the breeze the pushed you forward...

even though I was forgotten by you at times...

I never let you truly forget me...

in the lives you lived...

you remembered the past in fragments...

in dreams...

that was my whisper you heard late at night...

as you toiled in your studies...

I was the wind you felt massaging your head...

as you tried to relax.

-- Watchers --

They watch,

eyes like diamonds with in the snow.

Breaking the winter slumbering silence;

with a

sirens song,

low and mysterious.

Calming to the ears;

painting smiles upon the lips of weary

travelers.

Whipping winds,

drawing the song closer to icy ears.

Running with the wolves on the

winds;

lost in the bayings of the night serenaders.

-- Wolf Songs --

Howling at crimson ringed moon;

I am not of the wolf clan,

but I feel the wolves near.

Their music soothes a hurried mind.

Baying eyes wide to the silver moon;

singing a song of my own heart.

~~Sibling~~

Past Rememberance....

Remeberance for the now....

Look into my violet eyes...

and smile again...

You know who you were...

and who you are...

Look back at my memories for you...

and weep no more my sibling...

I will always be with you...

I am your protector then...

as I appoint myself now...

Let the light flow...

golden and silver...

ruby and emerald...

onyx and opal...

amethyst and topaz...

sapphire and pearl...

I am always by your side.
