One night I had a dream, Grey Lady and Warrior were me in my dream. The sanctuary was a garage which they crawled into and pulled down the door, leaving it open just enough to view the passing world outside.
Haunting dream!
Grey lady and Warrior, two spectrum extremes
Haunting my mind in my darkest of dreams
Warrior armed, always ready to fight
Sword in hand as a Warrior might
Grey lady standing with tears in her eyes
Confronting the Warrior no fear as she cries
Warrior now mesmerised by the sight
Of Grey Lady crying, she ceases her fight
Together they stand in the dark of my dreams
Two sides of the same soul connected it seems
Grey Lady walks on and Warrior tails
Both searching for peace from their own private hells
Grey Lady departs, knowing full well
That Warrior will follow, she’s under her spell
A longing for quiet, away from what’s real
Time for respite, so that deep wounds may heal
Their sanctuary seems such a desolate place
Hidden in darkness they watch the rat race
Observing the world through a door half ajar
A quest now for solitude, great healer by far
Cut off from the world, some comfort they find
Grey Lady and Warrior as of the same mind
The Warrior is strong and protects one and all
Grey Lady the sadness behind Warriors wall
They’ve lived in subconscious for too many years
Both parts of the same mind’s aggression and fears
There is now a need for the two to unite
Grey Lady stop crying and Warrior don’t fight
Its time now it’s safe, let the past sorrows go
Two halves of the same soul in union now whole!
