'The Watcher's Touch'

He flies as the eagle 

His presence unseen by those who seek him

Unaware are they of his magic

And when he feels safe

He shifts back briefly into his human form …

Drinking from the fresh waters of the stream

Swimming in the cool waters of the lake nearby to the waterfall

He sits later in the warming sun

Watching the salmon climb the waterfall

And he remembers the determination he once had …


Before the evil came to the land …


There is a tear in his eye and he sees the sky

And realises the great lie that has been sown across the land

Casting his mind … far …

He floats above the land and sees the flat plain stretch in every direction

Lifting higher he reaches the great plasma dome

And watches the sun and the moon …

The great deception in plain sight

And then he willingly plummets back to the flat land

Feeling an evil presence nearby

He knows a watcher comes …


He is ready … dissolving into the lake becoming part of that mighty energy


It comes … floating above … seeking him

It stops by the side of the shore and knows he is there close

Willing the waters to comply to his will …

He creates a mighty wave that captures the spectral force in its hold

Casting the watcher deep below the surface

He feels it struggle then it has ceased to be a threat

He lets the water repulse the evil … casting it onto the shore

Later, he stands close by as the burning of the watcher is in full flow

The flames reaching high into the night sky

Then it is done … the land is cleansed
