As the tightrope walker creates fear in the minds of the spectators, Alice fills me up with dreams and good reasons to not let the thin rope go...
It's been a long time since I last talked to Alice. Can't blame her, I've been busy dancing with the Devil under The Sorrow Clouds for way too long. Still I remember the days when we sat under the Mercury Tree and talked from dawn to dusk like there was nothing and no one waiting for us at the end of the day. The everyday-soothing Saturnine rain (the result of filtered waterdrops through the Mercury filled leaves) gave us a good reason to keep it going on. I remember the sweet lulabies sung by The Twelve Ladies of Hope (Molly, Porcelina, Zoe, Ruby, Daphne, Lily, Sophie, Cassandra, Magdalena, Naru, Aeris and My Beautiful Mary). The Metal Opera filled my ghost with desire, enough to make the Machine resume from its lost-into-oblivion state. From twilight to starlight, my picture-perfect story would come to life just for me (and Her). In the end, desire holds the moment still (Alice once told me). I guess she was right...
Where is everybody now that I need them ? The inescapable us is not so inescapable, as I can see. I guess i'm not indestructible...
Mother, it's lonely here in the Underworld, away from the sun. Was my picture-perfect story an illusion of safety ? I guess what i'm feeling is what they call "The Influence of The Deep". Still I remember the sunny days and its everylasting gaze.
Alice, don't worry, i'll make it happen. We can then reunite as one. For now, the Cyberspace Cowboy will sit and wait. It wont be long... the chemist will bring spark to this soul of mine: my living proof. Until then, i'll be singing the sorrow.
Wait, please wait... it wont be long (I hope).
