Withdrawing from the bright light Of the town hall and marketplace Finding refuge in the desert's sacred sites and burial grounds A solitary druid priest Retires to his true Nature to contemplate the Shadows Innate human urges and traits Reality cruelly hidden from consciousness by self-deception, arrogance and pride Suppressed by will Or fueled by delusions Maintaining self-comforting illusions not likely to survive the vengeance from upheaval, destruction and darkness yet to come |

Able to foretell the future No longer a master of his destiny Aware that his role on earth is diminished He remains a bridge Between the physical and the visionary world A divine, wise and mischievous magician The incarnation of intuition and instinct A rascal possessed of neither wife nor mistress Attracted, as always, to the extremely playful and lecherous Mystery provoking curiosity He exhibits a gentle strength A natural psychological bond with those women singing and dancing near the fires of Beltane Too dangerous for the uninitiated yet transforming for the genuine seeker of truth |

Pursue him on his own turf Offer inspiration to his creativity Soften his exiled existence Radiate glamour to Extinguish his memories of deception and withdrawal With a courtesy to neither quarrel nor submit blindly To another's agenda Possess a willingness to share Your deepest hopes and dreams He will enchant you With tales of wisdom and power Fire up your mind Point out with kindness and empathy the lies told to avoid self-knowledge reducing the alienation between ego and subconscious Promoting personal and spiritual freedom Unveiling dynamic and vivid perceptions Teasing the dark side out of the shadows Moving the psyche to greater integration and meaning |

Facing death of his human body A pending return to the ever-present pure light He may soon move to a more ephemeral plane Yet will remain hidden in the recesses of your mind A prophet No longer existing in time Observing this world through your eyes Reaffirming your commitment To provide solace and safety in the rescue of lost wanderers And desperate lovers in their time of need A companion to your soul A champion of harmony and reciprocity Protecting you eternally For he is your Merlin You are his Muse |
