I can not
I will not ever
go back now
I will keep marching
forward in time
to the ever-quickening
beat of the forest song
I will disappear
meld with the verdant
growing cloud
of sisters who have found
the path of truth
they didn’t walk
they ran, they trekked
staggered their way
through a seemingly
endless expanse no
help for their weary
heart or feet
I watched some pass
some fall behind
I couldn’t pick them up
but I cheered them
with my heart
soul, voice, and mind
I am waiting here now
for all of your hands
to join in companionship
to call out to your pain
rally your hope
and raise you up to where
you can finally stand
come
fight with me
in the light
where we all belong
together

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”
