In the days of ancient and old, there was a girl. A girl who would wander a great expanse, far bigger than our fair town. She was the one who taught the trees to grow, who taught the sun and the moon to dance, and the birds each and every one of their songs. And you’ve just found her diary.
Goddess-granted breath;
the path before me unknown –
the waters shall wake.
Eagerly the Sun
rises to begin the dance –
the Moon shall follow.
Sun and Moon entwined
Light-granting green life –
the Trees shall flourish.
Bird and beast now creep
upon the bless’d Earth so fair –
Voices shall they keep.
Goddess-granted breath,
I have only one regret –
Ends I shall not see…
Goddess-granted breath
to new and wond’rous Humans –
They I shall not teach…
New song to them I
grant, and dances to rival
all the Stars above in Heav’n.
