How long has it been since the Idol spirit has last graced the land? How long has it been since loss has made itself known? The grass has started to shrivel around the idol, turning yellow and brown in the consent sun. It seems the poppies have been dying. Where is the caretaker? Where is the one that encouraged the new sprouting of the seeds and kept the grasses green? There's no playful winds in the branches, no butterflies have left their flower homes and traveled the pond. Surely there must be an answer? Where has the small forest gone?
The fox has come a calling yes, many times the vixen has walked these paths. Left gifts by the Stone Mother, called and sang. The world's not the same. Rember when you could find the two of them? Always together when they had the choice. But now she comes and leaves alone, there's a crow in branches watching every move. She was the sun and the stars, warmth and stone. An anchor with a beating heart. And It had loved her more than everything.
Where is the owl stag that's come and gone? Sheltered with wide wings and an open heart. Proved themselves a friend again and again. A shoulder to cry on and a platform to catch the wind? He's had childeren to love and ducklings to let go. The cold has come and creeped, seeped away with the coming of warmer days. Last time they spoke of love and letting go. Of those they'd lost and found again, discussed the friends that were true.
The Old One left without a backwards glance that day, said the forest wasn't her path. That this day would be her last. What happened to that Angel with burned wings? Has she fiown away or has her godess taken what's left? And where is the butterfly? Those black eyes and lovely heart, the one who knew the words to place and what they meant? It's been so long since then...What happened to the old tree? Still healing with the greeness, more alike than they both knew.
The darkness is everywhere now, a cave of the deepest night it's ever known. Where has the sun gone? There's no breezes blowing their laughing songs, no water laughing through the stones. A pocket between the spaces that others roam, sepertate but connected by the barest strings. Here it rubbs shoulders with celestial beings. Those that gave new life so long ago but now watch it fade away, their vessel's breaking.
It can not count the days that are fading, can not fathom the fact that anyone's waiting. Fear's been cracking bones and breaking hearts. Time and time again It has tried and failed but now, It is giving up. Been so long since It has seen the the sun or their faces though they haunt it still. Strength is failing, grass is dead and dying. Soil sides have cracked and life is leaking. Gone are the flowers, gone are the days when they were together.
The Twins watch on with heads slightly bowed. How can one footstep be a journey one can't make? They have no time for trivial things, only mantain the balance that comes with the seasons. The creature's a failure, a mistake that's finally being put to right but still it doesn't feel right. Gave a soul a second chance and now It's throwing it all away. One step could save it, get out of the dark so the flowers can grow. It doesn't know the open arms that are waiting.
Just a glimer in this place, vauge echo sounds when the vixen sings. There's hope still. If they come, if they call, maybe It will hear those that don't want it gone. So lift up your voices! Take out your hearts and come to show it Life is still where it needs to be. Old and new, just met or old freinds come, make yourselves known. The Twins will try and show the Idol Spirit reasons for existing, will it come out alone? This won't be easy. There must be love, a presence for It to hold on to. There must be patience and understanding. Time will heal slow but wounds will remain and fear will always hold but maybe It will have a home.
"Wake up, the forest is calling."
"There's a world outside."
