AN: Hello! If you're reading this, there is something you should know before you continue:
I wrote this poem on WordPad with a specific idea in mind - the juxtaposition of two 'poems' representing the thoughts and actions of Satori and Koishi. FF won't let me format this poem the way I formatted it on WordPad, so the two lines of thought here (next to each other) are further apart than I intended. I apologise, and I hope you can still enjoy the poem and appreciate the concept despite this. If two people read it at the same time, one person to a side, you'll get the full effect!
And of course, the disclaimer:
-I do not claim any ownership of Touhou or any of the characters or concepts contained therein.-

The Hermit and the Wanderer:
-.-.-.-
It is so
It is so
Dark
Bright
Down here.
Up here.
The earth,
The sky,
Rigid
Flowing
Around me.
Above me.
I look at my third eye;
I look at my third eye;
It stares back,
It is closed,
Alert;
Asleep;
Unlike my sister's.
Unlike my sister's.
Koishi...
Satori...
I miss you.
I miss you.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
It is so
It is so
Bright
Dark
Out there.
In here.
The light from above travels
The light from above travels
Halfway into the cave.
Halfway into the cave.
Beyond that, will I find
Beyond that, I will find
You?
You.
I look at the palace,
I think of the palace,
Wishing I'd never left.
Wishing I'd never left.
I fly into
I fly into
The light and
The darkness and
I am blind,
I am blind,
Still hurtling towards you;
Still hurtling towards you;
Then my vision returns
Then my vision returns
and I see you with all three of my eyes.
and I see you with all three of my eyes.
Koishi...
Satori...
I've missed you,
I've missed you,
I'm glad that you're back
I'm glad to be back
