"Countless Ages"

By: pandorabox82

AKA: Steph

I was born to be alone

Fate decreed it before I was born

Or had a chance to change it

Alone I lived, guarding time

Seeing what was, what is, and what was to be

Spread out before me like a gigantic painting

That I was to observe, yet not be a part of

How I longed for someone to talk to.

Then one day, my Small Lady appeared

The first to visit me in ages

She made my life feel less empty

She could get me to smile

Then she was gone - to fight the enemy

Being captured and turned against us.

Finally I was allowed to fight

Joining the Senshi in their hour of need

Just as the universe was about to be destroyed

I stopped time and thus ended my life.

Before I drew my last breath, I saw Small Lady

Finally awakened as a Senshi

I knew my work was finished.
