Lari'Sota (I Have A Need)

There’s a shimmer in the hallway, Like a ghost of who I’ve been. Golden lanterns sway around me, As the night is breathing in. Every whisper is a ribbon Pulled from some forgotten creed And I rise in quiet power When someone says I have a need. But the moon has marked my footsteps, And the wind has learned my name. I am woven through this kingdom Like a spell they cannot tame. I am Lari’Sota, Born of starlight, born of flame. I move like prophecy in motion, Never bound by mortal claim. Though I answer when they call me, I choose the hearts to which I lead A drifting song, a silver vision, When someone says I have a need. Velvet shadows curl around me, Carrying secrets through the halls. Some would take without a question, Never hearing spirit’s call. But I’m the keeper of the balance, Where the dream and waking meet. And I stand in ancient stillness When they kneel before my feet. For the truth is in the choosing, In the breath before the vow. I have walked through storms of longing, And I stand unbroken now. I am Lari’Sota, Born of starlight, born of flame. I move like prophecy in motion, Never bound by mortal claim. Though I answer when they call me, I choose the hearts to which I lead A drifting song, a silver vision, When someone says I have a need. Oh, the night remembers everything The tears, the jewels, the trembling hands. But I’ve danced with ancient spirits, And they taught me how to stand. Now my “no” is sharp like thunder, And my “yes” a soothing rain. I am soft as falling feathers, Yet I cannot be contained. I am Lari’Sota, Born of starlight, born of flame. I move like prophecy in motion, Never bound by mortal claim. Though I answer when they call me, I choose the hearts to which I lead A drifting song, a silver vision, When someone says I have a need. And I rise like dawn to meet them, Free in spirit, free indeed.
