The Herald<br />
by Elene Ueckermann<br />
I am <strong>the</strong> herald of <strong>the</strong> echoes<br />
scarlet in <strong>the</strong> dark<br />
<strong>the</strong> one who keeps <strong>the</strong> no<strong>is</strong>es in<br />
saving o<strong>the</strong>rs from <strong>the</strong>ir plight<br />
I am <strong>the</strong> keeper of pretences<br />
hiding from <strong>the</strong>ir eyes<br />
<strong>the</strong> one who paints <strong>the</strong>ir faces on<br />
preserving honour through <strong>the</strong> mask<br />
I am <strong>the</strong> weaver of illusions<br />
fading in <strong>the</strong> haze<br />
<strong>the</strong> one who brings <strong>the</strong> shadows forth<br />
hiding those who <strong>can</strong>’t res<strong>is</strong>t<br />
I am <strong>the</strong> victim of your mind<br />
<strong>the</strong> darkness in your eyes<br />
<strong>the</strong> one who lies with a pointed tongue<br />
impr<strong>is</strong>oned in your soul<br />
