a co-write with a friend of mine


The mists of Avalon



The whisperings of silence come with their embrace
for the protection of our sanctuary
free from worldly troubles and their pettiness
in sustained and lasting harmony and constancy
to ever be the home of peace and beauty
with acquired taste that constantly improves
to set a good example for the world
and judging it in truth and justice
for its folly, baseness and barnarity,
while its only basic crime is ignorance.
Thus the realm of Avalon keeps towering forever
above the mists that hide it and protect it
from unworthy mortal and uneducated eyes,
while we who are initiated in her realm
will piously continue to perform our duty
of upholding her as the ideal of all ideals forever.

Did the immortal characters of Avalon make the place, or did Avalon make them? There are magical places, and I think the latter. Perhaps that is why we still revere it and seek it.

Places and experiences as such share a common mystic.
It is so good to be reading you again!
