the Breath of Life
The Earthborn learns about Magic. Magic comes from the Void. Every Earthborn touches Magic.
Most grasp blindly. Some know some. Voiceless Earthborn knowing Magic do not know Magic.
Voiceless Earthborn know illusions, shadows of reality.
If the Voiceless keeps playing with Magic, ignoring White, Red and Golden,
Magic burns the Voiceless slowly. Only a Three-Voiced Earthborn knows Magic.
Magic Blue
At Dusk, the Earthborn enters the River, swims.
The Earthborn finds Magic in the liquid waters.
The Magic stays close to the Earthborn, makes his•her Earth birth.
The Earthborn opens his•her hands, in the water, feels the weight of Magic.
Magic is kind. Magic is soft. Magic is blue. Magic brings Life out of Chaos.
The Magic Earthborn touches new waters, makes new Rivers flow, sets the clocks right.
Blue breath, I watch as Stardust softens space. I exhale.
Magic Black
At Midnight, the Earthborn sleeps in the River, swims.
The Earthborn finds Magic in the riverbed.
The Magic stays inside of the Earthborn, unearths his•her birth.
The Earthborn bites his•her hands, at the bottom, feels the sting of Magic.
Magic is sharp. Magic is magnetic. Magic is black. Magic brings Chaos out of Life.
The Magic Earthborn breaks old waters, ends old Rivers with grace, resets the clock.
Black breath, I watch as Stardust heals space. I exhale.
Magic Purple
At Dawn, the Earthborn sings in the River, swims.
The Earthborn finds Magic just above the water's surface.
The Magic is everywhere around the Earthborn, makes him•her Stardust.
The Earthborn moves his•her hands, above the surface, feels the lightness of Magic.
Magic is invisible. Magic is inevitable. Magic is purple. Magic becomes alive.
The Magic Earthborn glimmers in waters, merges distant Rivers, finds no clock.
Purple breath, I watch as Stardust warps space. I exhale.
The Earthborn starts with Blue. After Blue, learns Black. After Black, learns Purple.
The Human Earthborn feels how Blue, Black, and Purple are dangerous; but is never afraid.
If the Earthborn fears Magic, he•she does not need Magic.
The Human Earthborn breathes, knows best, counters curses with a silver mirror.
The Earthborn meets a cat.
The cat knows Magic.
It purrs Blue, bites Black, and speaks Purple.
