The Grail Keeper
I watched your life blood
Fall into the cup
It didn’t spill over
And it didn’t stop
A constant level of red dismay
A grieving litany I hear in my soul
Right up until this very day
Where the cup wants to take every drop
Bleeding you dry like a husk
Of everything you have got
Is this so that I live with the stain
Of retrospective treachery
But it is not something I have ever forgot
This remembrance is passed down through the ages
Of Grail Keepers, beggared and lost
Forgotten, unknown, paying the cost
Hidden in plain sight sometimes
Until it is our time to move along
We guard an eternal love
That outstrips existence itself
Though it would grant you healing if you asked
The treasure it holds is beyond compare
Containing the teachings of the soul
The movement of your blood
And the story of the universe untold
It never forgets or regrets
And remembers all the reasons
As to why you are loved
*****
What can I say? To me, this image transcends everything. Personally, it is one of my most meaningful and favourite images I have ever taken. If you were to ask me what I believed in, what I thought was precious in this world, I would say that this image represented my world completely, and who I am.
There is a dialogue happening here, with this Cup. There is a presence here, other than me, and the Cup has called it down.
When this happens and I am fortunate enough to witness it, feel it, experience it, I need nothing else.
A Grail Keeper protects and keeps this love safe. A Grail Keeper keeps the Light alive. My Love and Blessings to all.
Taken at Wilmington Church, East Sussex, UK. And yes, this is a photograph, not AI.
Why do I need a fake Grail when reality is like this?
And this is the point, don’t you think. Just believe for once, let joy into your life.
I have paired this with Era’s “The Mass” as this is what this image is, transubstantiation.
