The Hempstock mice know all
all that is good
and all that is bad
and all that is too horrible to be known
they are the oldest of the old
they come from a place before
the place of nothing
and the time before
the beginning of the first time before
and if you believe the rumors
or if you don’t believe the rumors
they will be here long after
the last time of all

They have traveled the abyss
and set sail in and charted the void
they can gnaw through time and space
and reality is nothing
they cannot bend
or turn
or rearrange
or extinguish with just a thought

Let us be thankful
that they are animals of kindness
creatures of wisdom
spirits of love
and mice that believe in forgiveness

Their paws are hands that craft things
all things
from the first heart of the first star
to the black feathers
of the first raven and crow
they will craft the quill and the ink
that will write last word
of the last story to ever be told

They named the gods
that named your parents
that named you
and painted the names
of tomorrows children
in the heart of yesterdays dreams

They have seen the end
since before the beginning
and when nothing comes back
they will swallow

Time

and

Dream

and

Life

and keep them safe in their belly
and gnaw through to new beginnings
and their paws will be busy hands
crafting things
all things
and when they have made
the universe comfortable once more
they will let us fall
from the belly of their womb
and we will be the children of tomorrow
born from the heart of yesterday

Oldest of the old
wisest of the wise
kindest of the kind

Mice of all mice
mothers and fathers
of love and forgiveness

Look in the ashes,
there is a hidden spark  somewhere,

Now look into my eyes,
what you see is only COLD DUST!!

Here is she sleeping
all cozy and warm
under her head
lies her pillow, my arm
such innocent she seems
under the dim light shower
like nothing she did
just about an hour
she is not a girl
but much more for sure
coz this is about Chi
her legend you gonna lore

Without any doubt,
she is the queen of my town
and no one upsets her
for so quickly she frowns
for most of the time
she is full of fervor and flight
and never for a moment
she is not hungry for a bite

Chi is smart
for she knows her way around
she won't miss a chance
to make you run round and round
and when she is done
she will make you believe
for her ******* eyes
all you want is to live.

Can't get enough of her,
for the twinkle of her smile
calms all my agitations
and I forget life for a while
but she asks for nothing
just my arm under her head
Chi makes me realize
the spirit inside me isn't dead.

She knows it for sure
when I am sick and sad
she feels the heat
at times when I get mad
but Chi knows the trick
she can get you all calm
she raises her paw
and keeps it in your palm
the sway of her whiskers
clears the acuity full of dust
I know she says
"Well, in me you can trust".

When you accept the fact,
That your trying doesn’t worth.
You stop fighting the truth
And make peace with the reality of some sort.

Your heart burns with chills,
Your senses numb as ****.
Consoling yourself faintly,
Without any drop of luck.

Some days pass,
A week, maybe few,
Pushing yourself hard,
Trying stuff you think are new.

With attempts to outrun your past,
To skip all the pain,
You work for worthless gain,
Trying hard not to turn insane.

At nights it gets tough,
When what you did
Wasn’t enough
Your chest gets so heavy,
Colder it feels.
The monster scare you bad
The scars aren’t easy to heal.

Lying dead on your bed,
Eyes open wide,
Remembering things she said,
Moments we lived
Cherishing all the treasures we had.

You smile for a while,
But the smile is so sad,
Haunted by your decisions for,
Circumstances you had.

Still, you know it's not the end,
You’re not alone getting the bend,
You’re not only broken into pieces,
Crushed all your feelings,
As if life ceases.

You know you have to stand,
And prove your self-respect.
Shutting down all the stations,
Shutting up all the mistakes.

Preparing yourself,
you lone ranger,
Determined so meekly
Not to cry
Coz with the time
The tears gonna dry……

"What's wrong with these flowers?"
they aren't any more divine,
"Why does the rain stinks of feces?"
it should be pouring the old wine.
"Is it warm or cold or maybe both?"
I just cannot decide" what is fine?"

these mood swings of yours
are like a roller coaster  ride
you might feel the vibes
and judge with the strides
but I can't help loving those
no matter how hard I tried.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle—
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
