You used to be a Goddess
but that illusion falls
apart around you
as the sand and dust
clears from your eyes
you see a hand reaching
to help you up.
Although he speaks in a
foreign tongue, somehow you
can understand that he wants
to help you pick up
the peices of your shattered illusion
and though you can't return to your
Goddess life, he offers
another, a new place
a new way to use the
gifts which you possess
a new land of people
who need protection, the world
of your ancestors
a world which you have only
once seen.
He tells you it is your
choice, to go, to stay.
The decision rides upon your shoulders
and in your heart
