a huddled little creature
small and forlorn
i can not see its face
but i can feel its pain
it clutches tattered black cloth
tightly around it....almost disappearing in the folds
i can not reach it .........but i can feel
its desperation ...and its pain
the only thing that comforts it......
is offerings.............
of my body ...........and my blood
this comforts it..........
and eases its pain
step by step..........
i get closer...
the more offerings i give....
the closer i am able to get
inally i am close enough
to touch it........
i reach out and touch a shoulder........
a bone chilling coldness fills me.......
the cloth falls away as it rises to its full height
and reveals a monster in disguise
it is NOT a small scared creature........
t is Death.........
stunned and afraid....
i stare at it in shock.....
you?...............
you are gone
i banished you..............
Did you?
it asks with a sinister sneer.........
yes!
i did......i banished you..........
you were gone...................
But here I am......it says
you can�t �banish� me.....you foolish girl....
you have no power over me
i say struggling to keep the terror out of my voice
Don�t I?.................
look at your arms....
remember let�s see.......March 6th..........
the day you almost came to me.......almost......... DIED
oh...........i HAVE power
no!
you did.........but you DON'T now......
i have seen what it is you offer me.........
and i will never come to you willingly
your darkness fills me with emptiness and fear
...........you don�t offer peace....you lie
i don�t need you..........
you have no power over me
you have nothing to offer me.................
No?...........
don�t you want all this to end..........
don�t you want peace
I can give you all that and more............
no! no!....you can�t..........you are a liar
your peace isn�t real..........it is a facade
you are a liar........
Mother Goddess fills me with light and warmth
peace and serenity
She is real.....Her gifts are real and i choose Her.................NOT you
i don�t want you........
i am telling you to leave............
i banish you......forever
you are NOT part of me..........
i don�t need you........
i cast you out.............
leave....... me.......... alone......
Fine.......if that is what you want.............
but remember it will not be as easy next time .......
when you want me back again.....
and you WILL want me back.........
you ALWAYS do..........
and It is gone
A warm Light enfolds me.........
She speaks without words
but i know Mother Goddess is here and She is pleased
for the moment i feel safe and at peace.........
a woman in Her image
but then i feel the dark energy still lurking...watching...waiting
and i am afraid.....................
