Lady Rebecca
Lady Rebecca
Buzz Fisher
In the Forest
of the Eternal
it came to me -
the ghost of Father -
long since dead.
I shall not believe
that this could happen
just my mind
making me a fool
to myself.
Reality has escaped me
and darkness has filled the void
left when she flew.
“Father, it cannot be you
that has come to visit,
for you are no more.”
“But it is I my son -
I have come to warn
of impending danger.
It is not a sword
which shall do you in -
for a sword only
runs through the carrier.
You must protect from
Lady Rebecca who runs
not through the carrier
but through the veins -
through the soul, I say.”
“But Father, Lady Rebecca
is the one I love.
She is not of the wicked cloth
as you say.
But you are my Father,
or the ghost of such,
and I shall heed your warning -
though I feel it is wrongly placed.”
“You need not believe
that I am real -
only that my message is true.
It is not death that you must fear,
it is the killing of the soul.
Lady Rebecca possesses the poison
which has killed more souls
than any warrior’s sword
has run through!”
