Familiar

who are you,

this creature with my face and eyes,

small and fleet running rampant on my soul?


what quest brings you here again

to devour my joy and chase away my peace

ever laughing as you go, flinging scorn and disdain?


come, troubler of spirits

rest here on my lap and tell me what fuels your frenzy

how comes your recent troubled flight into my thoughts?


sit with me

let us wait together for the rain

waterfalls often bring sprites in drops of tears and sweet dew.


for i know you like them so

abide here with me then - my familiar.
