A change from my normal posts, I found this poem I had written a few years ago and thought I would share.

The Wizard

The magical wizard wanders alone

Guiding others along the road

With his trusty dog by his side

Always there for those who ask his aide

It’s a lonely journey

Being a wizard like this

People taking advantage, all take and no give

Most days he doesn’t mind, and never complains

It’s his life quest, saving others, guiding and helping

But sometimes, he thinks, it would be nice to have a home

Somewhere to rest his weary head, to sleep

His warrior princess at his side

The warrior princess, as she heals others

Guiding and listening is always there for those in need

She watches her magical wizard and helps when she can

From a distance she knows, is all she can do in this life

And she knows that, although apart in this life

In past and future times, she is with her wizard

Fighting, healing, guiding and helping side by side

“Why do you love him so much?” she was asked once

“That you are willing to leave him be?”

She replied,

“Because he is a part of me as I am a part of him,

And that doesn’t change.

Across all lifetimes, we are one.”

She continued,

“His smile, his voice, his eyes, his words, his touch, his wisdom, and so much more,

His magic, his music, his humour, his gentle spirit and caring soul…

Who he is, always there for others, asking nothing in return.

I am more of who I am with him in my life

Our connection transcends time and space.”

And so, the wizard prince continues his journey, the warrior princess continues hers

Healing, helping, guiding, teaching

Longing to be together once more

Neither know when or where, but they both know that their time will come

When they will be together again.
