Marvel didn't say I could write this. It's summer break and I'm going crazy

so suing me won't do any good anyway. I don't know what I thay were "gods"'m even writing.

Have yerself a load o fun!

What Life Through Yonder Flower Fades.

As an X-men I have fought those whom thought they were "gods" and in my

time I have indeed have been hailed as a "goddess". This was whan the balances

of life were just becoming known to me. There is so much I never knew.

The air calls to me while the animals spleak to me and plants clamour for

me as children do for their mothers.

I have seen the magnificance of the Phoenix screaming high as well as

the beautiful renewal of the rose blossom upon the bush. To the outside

at large, I am the gardner, the grounds keeper. I receive such complements

from the young students parents that trickle slowly in here. I love the

newly grown perfume of the flowers that grew here once. With the recent...

troubles we have had at the school, gardening has fallen by the wayside.

My baby's are but shriveled twigs now. The vines that held my tomatoes are gone and the

cucumbers are aught.

I can keep the coldness of winter off and the bistering scorch of the summer sun

is easly dismissed by a rain shower, but I cannot breath life back to the dead.

But life has a way of returning when least expected. I do miss them.
