The stars made a path
she whispered her thanks and tried not to look up
to stay grounded in earths magic
to be protected in it’s soft groves
The winter threatened her peace
her sword was left behind
but she still had the fire of her heart
she made a vow to stay good
in the midst of an evil coming
she knew she would be tempted beyond her wildest dreams
she knew she would receive an offer
her soul was violet and bright
her hands were strong
she kept digging
to find their secret
hiding one of her own
she let out a sigh
remembering the heavenly days before she came to earth
the mirrors of the water
and the fey and the woodland creatures by her side
the singing and dancing with the angelic faces
but she was here now
ready to conquer
her purpose would soon be clear
but would she work to discover it?
or wait until the clock was dust again
she had a choice
to have power and darkness
or to surrender to God’s love
Both sides wanted her magic
Her choice was hers alone
but the stranger knew her heart
and his plan was exhausting her
he tempted her by using her greatest weapon to destroy her
he used her infinite love
to have her love-all that he was
how could she not love everything and everyone
when she was made of love itself?
so she loved him
endangering the world’s fate
selfishly desiring him every second
pretending
ignoring the power of her choices
hoping it wasn’t true
being prey
and wanting it too
but also knowing somewhere inside
that this was her move too
that this was part of the divine plan
on the surface it looked like she was giving in
but something beyond consciousness knew
that she was in for the win
that by letting her guard down
she was also investigating her enemy
and working towards finding his plans
so the side of love could rule again.
She looked across at him
his eyes gleaming
and knew one day those eyes
would disappear from her memory
never to be seen again
so she held him tight
and felt all she could in that moment.
