the clarion boy & the scarlet hill

The boy can drum movement in a statue, His possibilities are cosmic. Land an impact like an arrow Resounding a clean clarion harmonic.

After all, his blood is made of mercury, But instead of silver it shines gold! All while retaining mercury's key property - In any challenge he can mold.

.

He's elemental to his friends, The first to lead unknown skies With a brazen eye for adventure, And a panther's backbone to always try.

So new challenges mostly felt familiar Their lime mountains would lower a welcoming hand, But this time there stood one scarlet hill That proved strange to understand.

.

What do you do with a scarlet hill? When somethings air feels so unnatural What's the right solution, Needed to start a new chapter's traction? ____________________________________________________

Is it just binding wood to get across the ocean?

Befriending lonely stars, to make colourful new norms,

Using ingenuity in unexpected forms!

When the queen honeybee resolved to colonize.

When the moon melts a moment for clearer attention,

Calming ego's lava so true reason is heard.

Exploring the darkest caves - so nothing is missed.

Letting the scene play out, then making up your mind.

So the noise here is loud, can you speak a bit clearer?

A solution depends on who’s looking in the mirror.

So taking a deep breath,

The clarion boy got straight to work -

Brushed his black hair backwards

With a semi-confident smirk.

.

Asking for wisdom from God

When gracing scarlet unknowns;

"Start with what you love,

And the rest will seem to flow."

.

and so the hill never changed from scarlet

kid clarion just grew,

that's the fantastical part

solutioned only in the new.

Overtime he'd crossed 15 scarlet hills

And then the halcyon raptured.

Formed a herculean tone in his voice

But wondered, what happens after laughter?

Sometimes behind a closed door

In the eves of his mind

The one thing he couldn’t quiet engineer

Was a meaningful smile.

As real as hope, it's hard to know

what fixes the weights that sink so deep

but there can be

// someone in your corner

and God is not asleep.

no shame or need to explain

there're friends who'll move worlds to listen

have an ab tensing cry

then push you back on your mission.

don't have to speak too often

but definitely when it counts,

& just enjoy each at their other

not just money makes the world go round.

so grey is bleak but enriching

and sometimes still feels like a sunken ship,

so theres no prophetic final answer

but friends to just enjoy figuring it out with.
