Spirits
Messengers of the night
Bearing temporary disguises
Identities adopted then promptly discarded
Earnest, these caretakers of the land
Spirits calling, speaking softly
Souls seduced, hosts respond with tributes
Then, charms displayed, totems conveyed
Expectant as histories are recited and renewed
Knowledge unveiled - no libation needed
Cures freely shared without sacrifice
Healing through mere conversation
Welcome them, the spirits at your side
The comfort of visitors to lean on during ordeals
Connective tissue, their convenient embrace
Listen carefully, savor the gifts they dispense
Acknowledging, before they return into the night
Spirits, a playlist
A soundtrack for this note (spotify version)
