Part V:
The Fool and the Maiden

Introduction:

In the larger plan, whether it be God's will or the flow of the Universe, I believe that Alexandra and I were selected to cross paths. We both had our issues, problems, and lessons to learn. However - we also possess the capability to save each other.

I do believe that we were put to the test, to see if we can overcome our individual issues, if we can rely on each other - but more so if we can 'see' perhaps Alexandra needs to see the Future and I need to see the present.

Personally, I believe that everyone crosses our paths for a reasons. While we may not know that reason immediately - we know that reason when it is our time. How we direct ourselves and navigate with each other defines the future and realization of the gifts we receive.

I use the words "Who Can" as I don't fully believe the story ended - maybe one day - there will be a story called: Two Amazing Souls Who Saved Each Other

A Maiden Who can Save a Fool

A Maiden from Barnaul, resilient and bright,
Her boundless energy, a beacon of light.
A pirate she dreams, a mother she is,
Her powerful soul, life’s enduring bliss.

Tormented by man, she battles with might,
For eight long years and miles from home, she fights through the night.
Every hour, every day, her strength wears thin,
Her resilience fades, her light grows dim.

Alone she has struggled, weary and torn,
A light she seeks, in this new land that be, for peace to be reborn.
If only a man, steadfast and true,
Could offer her support, help her renew.

A Fool Who Can Save a Maiden

A Fool he is, blind to his might,
His powers lost in endless night.
An endless love he has not known,
Years spent searching, all alone.

The Man within the Fool will see,
When Maiden's touch sets his soul free.
In castle cold, alone he stays,
Watching sunsets, lost in daze.

A fortress built with dreams so grand,
Yet love eludes his heart and hand.
Sad he sits, with no true need,
His powers waste, his heart does bleed.

Who is the Fool?

My time has always been missing that something...I came to realize that it was a "purpose" and that purpose is someone. While I thought it was a belief, a job, or something similar - I found my greatest joy in being able to bring something special to someone. In the same way, Alexandra was good karma coming back to me when I most needed to smile.

Who is the Maiden?

Alexandra was from the Altai Krai region of Russia. She came here to the US, and like all immigrants - went through a lot. From the dissolution of two (perhaps 3 including me) relationships and a steady stream of uncertainty. She is looking for peace, stability, happiness - to live a 'normal, loving, life' - such a small ask of God, The Universe and the Alchemist
