Brave New World

Fifth in the "Kibito's Thoughts" series of poems

By LadyRivka

A great fear envelops me

For I will leave Kaiooshin-kai at noon

For a destination, located in the arms

of the Milky Way, called Earth.

This fear grips my jugular,

I know not what to make of it.

Something tells me this planet's mortals

May fear me for what I am, who I love,

And who I protect with all my soul.

Kaiooshin-sama stares at me,

His ebony eyes tracing my body, curious,

Trying to sense what I'm afraid of.

I tell him, gently,

That the citizens of this planet

Would not be able to accept

The true nature of God, all of it.

He hold my hand, smiles,

And says they will learn soon enough.

I smile back, holding his hand tighter

As we venture upon this sphere,

This brave new world, our love conquering all fear.
