[hometext] => Dreams sometimes tell a story of the past.
[bodytext] => An angel closes her eyes. She has sacrificed her life. Tears fall from my eyes Knowing it should have Been me that died here. I still hold her close Even though she is gone. Others lay dead but It was her sacrifice Of love and desparation That allowed for victory That saved countless others. Wishing I had had The love and courage She showed here today. For her compassion and mercy. I had hated her for that. I brought her back home Delivering her to the Goddess. Tears streamed down her face. Anger towards myself For my arrogance and pride. I had done what was needed But at what price? So many died because of me. Because I took only our own. I went to kill my spirit. The Goddess stopped me. Angered by this action chided, "Has there not been enough Bloodshed for ye? Must one more child Be sacrificed in my name?" I fell to my knees in her embrace. The Goddess smiled upon me warmly. "Come bring your sister and I will show ye child that Those lives lost today Were not lost in vain." I followed her, sister in arms. Our mother gestured for me To lay her into the Sea. I did so and stepped back. The Goddess smiled and said, "Now for those that sacrificed Their lives on this day I shall make two races. One to heal and protect. One to help you fight. Both will aid you against Those that would harm all." On that day I saw two Races born out of love And out of sacrifice. It was worth the lives. All eighty-nine of them. To protect all life.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
