A haiku from the Dreaming

January 27th, 2008 by lynnylchan under Humour

If your faith is based on a belief in the Endless, and your prophet is Neil Gaiman, then you will know what I mean when I say I brought back a little poem from the Dreaming, realm where those things-that-are-not are.

If you don’t believe in the Endless, no matter. They are not gods, and do not live or die by your unbelief. Now for a little context on the matter:

If you imagine the ghost of a knight, rising from his grave to have a look at his new resting place, only to be disappointed at the lack of care it receives, you might hear this:

“Ah, me! The trollop

Never waters the dead grass.

What a bother, eh?”
