THE PROPHECY OF THE THREE

The Three shall come, leaving early, arriving late,The life stages of all men:Child of Blood,Child of Earth,Child of the Sky.Each man, formed in blood and born in it,Walks the Earth and sustained by it,Reaching to the sky, and sheltered beneath it,He ascends there only in his ending, becoming part of the stars.Blood gives new beginning,Earth gives sustenance,The Sky gives dreams in life—eternity in death.Thus shall the Three be,One to the other.

THE PROPHECY OF THE UNINVITED GUEST

Among the last to leave, among the first to come,Seeking a new host, uninvited, in a new place.The power gained being the first,Was lost in being the last.Hosts shall nurture it, unknowing,Like the guest wreathed in smiles,While secretly poisoning the larder.Jealously guarded of its own power,Ne'er has, nor ever shall its host bear or sire children,Yet ever it seeks to procreate.
