I wish I had saved the video because I keep thinking about it.

Very very early in the war before the entire military was regular units there were occasional videos of under equipped Ukrainian fighters. I saw two videos where in the background one female Ukrainian who stood out because she was a rare woman soldier and she didnt wear a helmet, just blonde hair. I believe the first was just a normal in cover and shooting video, made strange by the unarmored woman. But the second was enigmatic.

In the second video the camera starts just after finishing a battle. A russian vehicle burns in the middle of the road. He checks on a fellow soldier who is looking for surviving combatants. The camera

Seers:

“No Savrina,

We come from far away.

Savrina,

Listen to what we say.

We are Seers,

Blessed with the gift of foresight.

And the Stars,

Whispered to us of your plight.”

Savrina:

"The Stars never cared before,

I won't hear more."

Seers:

“You will find love,

And he may be your soulmate.

It's not enough,

Two bloodied paths you two create!”

Savrina:

“You taunt me with tales of a love that draws near?

Take a moment to look - I'm the only one here!

I'm alone in this world you have nothing to fear.”

Stars:

Melodramatic!

Extra theatric!

Seers:

“We saw these skies,

Will rain with rock and fire!

We saw demise,

• Savrina:

My mother left her child,

Her love feigned and beguiled,

Hath she no care for me?

My father found a whore,

He loved those strangers more,

Than he hath giveth me.

Am I alone?

​

“All alone…”

​

I wish a star would fall,

Shatter my lonely pall,

Seclusion at an end.

Maybe once here on Earth,

The starstone could find worth,

To be my only friend.

Am I alone?

​

“All alone…”

​

I call myself Savrina.

I don’t use my own surname.

My kin cast me no honour,

So they shan’t share in my fame.

Hang around, yes, you’ll see me cry,

But there’s more to me than shame.

​

Don’t think me so depressed,

In spi

Stars:

Here enter seven sister seers,

Enslaved to their fanatic fears.

Hear them singing in a chorus,

Songs within the heart of Taurus.

​

Seers:

“We are the sisters of the night!”

​

Seer 7:

I am the Seventh.

The sky opens wide with Summer beams,

All golden sunny.

The rivers in my land are wealthy creams,

And golden honey.

But the Stars above me whisper...

​

Stars:

Winter…

​

Seer 7:

I see Winter storms are coming.

I can understand the warning.

​

Seer 6:

I am the Sixth.

I long only for the drifting,

Dreamy mist so slowly shifting,

Cotton cloud

Stars:

Under the Stars there's a newborn creation,

Under the Stars she lies.

​

Under the Stars lives a bright constellation,

Under the Stars she dies.

​

We watched the billions come and go,

And noticed very few.

But,

Before the day that she was born,

Her fate was one we knew.

​

Although we've known her tragedy

Before her time has come.

Still,

We're genuinely sorrowful

Her trial has begun.

​

Under the Stars comes a soothing elation,

Under the Stars she'll rise.

​

We saw her heart still beautiful

In life and in her death,

And kept her love still dutiful while struggling for breath.

​

We carved her sto

Sirius:

November...

The first of November,

And I'm still without her.

These days of Fall are a cold Samhain,

Feel the walls between us wearing thin.

​

Staring...

Glaring...

​

Where Savrina hung her mirror.

Madness, yes, has taken over.

Pacing with an aching fervor.

Gazing in this glassy border.

Filled with memories I can't ignore.

​

Looking glass in hand affixed,

Behind her head she'd stare transfixed;

At the reflection of herself betwixt,

And the thousand copies of her mirrored.

​

Wishing for those bygone days,

I lift her glass and share her gaze;

I stare far into sea green haze,

Searching for remnants of her moored.

I lived devoid,

Until you joined.

We watched the daylight fade

While the nights grew long,

But our hearts stayed close,

And our love grew strong.

Can’t imagine life any other way,

Than beside you every single day.

And the time we shared together,

Was Sweet Sweet Grey November.

​

The heart I found,

Will dance unbound.

Among the star-signs that we trace,

Where I am held in your embrace.

Lighting the skies forever,

In Sweet Sweet Grey November.

My dearest love,

My rise above.

Despite the cold you kept me warm,

And we ignored impending harm.

Cherish our time together,

Our Sweet Sweet Grey November.

​

In the darkness,

And the silence.
