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
