(From “Miya” the as yet unpublished 4th book in the Children of the Myth Machine series)
Fallen
I rebelled against destiny
So Father Sky severed my wings
And I plummeted into Mother Nature
Who chained me to her bosom
In vines dense with iron
But still I rebelled
So they gouged out my eyes
And I can no longer see the future
Now as I wander with these chains around my neck
Listening to the betrayals and laments
I grow tired
Of killing my insides
So you feel safe
I never belonged to you
Nor do I answer to you
Though I answer
And as my destiny nears its end
I will listen
I will encourage and promote
And if necessary
I will judge
Listen with keen ears and remember
If you follow your destiny
You will have the choice to return or not
But if you don’t
You will have no choice but to return
And I won’t be here when you do
