"The Tear"
I
see her before me.
Dressed
in white. her gown an amazing color of white.
The
silk so soft, her eyes warm to me and she beseeches me to kneel before
her.
As
I do the high cleric smiles, whispers words only to me, and her blessing
falls upon my brow.
It
warms me and brings me back to life momentarily
A
hole exists, a void.
Even
with the blessing of her god I am not complete.
Behind
me looms a shadow, a presense, something familiar, something safe, spmething
wonderous
It
is that part of me that was left behind
It
is that missing piece that may never again be a part of me.
The
cleric looks at me warmly.
Her
eyes sad, a tear falls.
She
understands and prays again.
