Will-o’-the-Wisps #2
My true companions who never fail
Flashing here and there
Illuminating pathways to the nether world
Dazzling spinning
My Arms outstretched to grasp the earth
With fingers seeking purchase
To slow my frantic pace
Always to the edge
And not one step beyond
For fear that Fates may lead me
Where I would not go.
Clotho the spinner
Lachesis the measurer
Atropos the terminator
Attend to the path
These Will-o’-the-wisps have set for you
Creatures of such beauty cannot be sent
To confound your quest
And leave you lost.
