A Prayer for the Overwhelmed

Some people choose to live madder than a hatter on a hungry god's platter. Others choose to live a little more gracefully. Me? I plunge deep and hope I don't drown or get eaten by the real creatures, the demigods of the abyss.

The following poem (or prayer?) was left for me a couple of days ago. It was etched into the top of my wooden desk:

Jo, Jo

It's in the flow

Call upon the Father

Or rest within the water

Angels of the fire

Demons of the sky

Servants bound together

Through the deeds that you require

Freedom or Fates

The next world awaits

Brave the colors and grieve

Then listen for another's Eve

I guess somebody doesn't feel I'm worried enough about my daughter. Is this a threat? Is it a set of instructions? Both? 

Jesus! How much am I supposed to handle all at once?

Last night, the blood drifters were having some fun. They've taken their audio performances to a whole new level. I recorded their new ditty next to what is likely the world's ugliest statue of the Holy Virgin.

What the hell is going on?
