Spirits fly in peace, <br />Encounter transcripts, <br /> <br />They come out of the dark, <br />They’re brought here by incantations, <br /> <br />To be chosen, for possession, <br />Shamanic rituals and dances, <br /> <br />No, there is no darkness, <br />Only the darkness of the mind, <br /> <br />But spirits, they are all untamed, <br />Sometimes wishing to come back! <br /> <br />Sometimes… the bonds… <br />Are stronger than us! <br /> <br /> ©Elya Thorn.
