The Seer


The Seer
Not far away lies a cloud covered isle,
Where the sunsets make the dwellers smile
The dwellers are mystics, magicians and more
And they gather each night upon the large shore
They sing as the sun sets so far away
They celebrate the end of another great day
They welcome the birth of a great new morn
As they party until the first signs of dawn

The Seer is the leader, the king to them all
He’s older, wiser and remarkably tall
He watches for signs for change on the way
And decides if the dwellers should flee or stay
For the isle is at risk from an outside source
And the dwellers all know about this, of course,
But the day will come when their ways will end
And they’ll celebrate the day that they have to transcend

      The header will only be here for a few more days, and then I’m back to my usual one… or a variant of it anyway!

    Are they your illustrations, Tom? Brilliant! I love the seer, though your words and images do send that obligatory shiver down my spine.

      Yes, those in my header are mine, and the Seer in the picture with this post. The island is kind of mine, created with some computer software I have obtained!
      It’s always a good thing to have a shiver around Halloween!

        Hahahaha….I was thinking of living in a community with mystics and seers and people like those, but yes…beach parties sound fun too! (might be a tad old for that, but what the heck…as long as we are letting our imaginations run…let the party begin!!!!) 😀

          Hehe! I know… I just threw the parties in for a bit of fun!
          Besides, Shree, those mystics have been living there for hundreds of years, and partied every day. We’re never too old! 😀

      Yes, I’ve been a little creative in the art department this last week, inspired by a few blogs I visit!
      It has been fun… my Inner Artist and, I think, my Inner Child have liked it. My Inner Child is very embarrassed!
      Happy Halloween to you too, Andro!
