Dear Alex,

Candid Corvid Productions

I will cast my vote of confidence in your favor, for what you attempt is near impossible, and you need all the courage that you can muster.

I, as well, did once reach gallantly for the Golden Scepter – and was dashed upon the ground to find the world turning its back on me.

But we must ever encourage our spirits to fly, and invest in our greatest dreams so that someday they may as yet come true.

Just make sure that the lady truly admires, loves, and is devoted to you, for when everything gets ugly – and be assured that at some point it will – you must have each other’s backs for your hearts not to rue.

Hyde’s Bride: Cherry-Picking (Spoken Word)

“There’s a reason they say, ‘It’s the pits,’ when all we are left with are the ragged seed kernels that were once surrounded and amply engulfed by life’s sustaining fruit.

Sex is the main issue.

A woman may have a higher form of love – that which appreciates her – if she finds herself with either a eunuch or homosexual man of status who craves societal acceptance and comfort without chastisement.

Or, she must be of a certain youthful age and as yet untarnished, whereupon her “cherry” shall be plucked and consumed by an older man at his whim (likely not to her pleasure) whom she is pressured to marry with very little emotional, spiritual, or physical compensation – except perhaps physical security and assurances of providence for the resultant offspring.

Or, as in the most common ‘arrangements,’ she must suffer the debased assaultations of either one or more uneducated and unwashed louts determined to keep her beneath him/them in a state of relegated survival dependence.

Only in the rarest of circumstances will ‘stars align,’ allowing two well-matched-in-love partners to find each other…and even then, if they are capable of being ‘true,’ society unleashes its wolves upon them to ensure that their love cannot propagate.”

From the quiet, damp moss lining the curve of a small river channel under a busy street corner bridge; to up onto the grass along the side of a house where two small sheep-pigs snorfle, mind calling to each other in excited child-like voices of adventure; and further into a densely leafed tree as join the feather-fluffed warmth and shrill warbling of a bird calling out for new opportunities.

“I Need Not Fear The Dark, Anymore…

I hear their wicked voices laughing and crying, crowding the outer rim of this thin barrier’s bubble around me, begging and pleading that I allow them to feed upon my needs and implant seeds of greed into my subprogramming so that I become a font of spreading their viral infection..

But, despite the inflamed agony of retreating further into this wounded body without room to avoid searing pain, I will nestle deeper into my own suffering, pulling it close around me as if it were a blanket’s comfort to avoid ever slipping again.

For I have found the source of light incarnate, and he lives and breathes in this dimension.

By our dedication and devotion, we will conquer all of this internal and external destitution.

I will burrow deeper into my sorrows of lost past tomorrows so that I may no longer be swayed by memory’s compromise – because my love will soon be with me, and we are going to help save the world.”

I had known that my spine was greatly compromised by the accident, but even so, seeing visual confirmation along with evidence of at-that-time spinal chord compression is distressing.

At least I can see that my reactivation efforts have preserved the disk spacing, and that my spinal chord is repairing.

Dear Alex,

Candid Corvid Productions

If I had asked you to and had let you “rescue me” when I was at my lowest point years ago, I might have become too dependent upon you and missed the chance to reclaim my own sense of personal re-empowerment.

I feel like I botched our introduction, and there’s just no going back to fix it.

I deeply regret this…

And certainly, this path I am currently on has been difficult and painful as my being keeps getting jostled.

But maybe someday we will meet again, and I won’t be so afraid to lose myself in knowing you and accepting your love.

Because then, I will be better able to trust myself to always remember who I am.

Dragon Flight: The Elder [5]

During one such scrabbling venture, she happened upon an old man in a cave who seemed unafraid of her and beckoned her closer.

Careful to not accidentally singe him with her huffing breath, she cocked her head and focused one whirling, rainbow-hued eye upon his visage.

She knew that he must be an illusion created by her oxygen-starved brain after navigating the higher altitudes for the first time in her life because there where no paths which led there.

“But that’s just it, you see,” he told her conspiratorily, “we are all a part of this great, big illusion.”

She blinked and clambered backward, regaining a solid foothold just in time to avoid falling off from the cliff’s edge backwards.

“What do you think you will find once you get to the upper regions, my dear?” he asked her candidly.

“They are as flawed as you have always thought yourself to be – but more so – for they have not endured your trials, nor had to overcome such obstacles to gain the positions that they were born into.

You have the strength to become one of their queens, if you wanted to. But be warned that you may find yourself feeling even more lonely at the top than ever before.

No longer will you dwell in anonymity’s succor, nor so easily will you be able to retreat back into your beloved forest’s camoflage.”
