Visions of the Goddess
Whispers on the wind,
Time stands still
Ocean waves beat against the sandy shore
Night breeze flows through
Standing on a cliff
Staring into a mirror
A perfect mirror
Reflecting all that is within
Whispers fade
As does the sound of the waves
Breathing softly
Flying away
Seeing the light
Brighter than any
Isis guides me
Takes my hand and closes my eyes
Mirror, oh perfect mirror
Seeing my innermost soul
Reflecting back the visions
Seen through other eyes...
Pain...oh Goddess the pain
Isis holds my hand
Sings to me
Even as I am being ripped apart from within
Ages pass
Darkness covers
My mind is quiet
Oh so very quiet...
Leap of the Panther
Struck down by claws
The totem falls
Taking wounds meant for me
Screaming, gnashing teeth
My pain is overwhelming
"Shush" whispers the Goddess
"All will be well."
Weakness
Hated weakness
Open my eyes
All is blurry
I hear them
Calling to me to respond
Frantically trying to get me to yell
But I can't, exhaustion too great
A touch on my head
Hair shielding my face
"Stay with us," she whispers
"It's your choice," Isis says
Whimpers, shrieking screams of pain
Oh Goddess, is that me
"I see what she is going through," says one
"Damn it, don't you leave us," says another
Isis, blessed mother
Help me be strong
The pain is so great
All I want to do is sleep
"No sleep," one says
That is not what I want to hear
Isis takes my hand again
Leads me to the sea-swept plain
Looking around
Feeling of floating
Whispers in the wind
Ocean waves crashing violently now
"Look to the mirror," the Great Goddess says
"Pull on the cord...
"The mirror shows you the answers...
"The cord takes you to them..."
Shriek of pain, tear filled eyes
Body raising off of the table
Snap of leg, twist of arm
Then they regain control
I feel the pain flowing through me
Hear my pathetic voice whimpering
"Hurts" I cry out as veins of ice flare through my
mind
Apologies, though there is no other way
Close my eyes, see the Shadow
Beckoning me to follow
To his right stands Isis
Looking sad but serene
I am floating, below I see myself
But if I am here
Then who is in there
If I am here...why am I still fighting
I shake my head and move backwords
Seeing Isis smile as she points down a silver cord
"Follow when you are stronger" she whispers
My eyes open and I see them trying to reach me...
