I saw her once in a dream.
Beauty,
Life,
and Strength
were Hers to command.
And so She took command of my dreams,
and showed me worlds
I had never seen before.
They were worlds so beautiful,
so different from my own.
I felt at peace in these new worlds,
and so I asked Her
if I could stay.
But She,
said No.
I never asked again,
instead,
I accepted what was offered to me.
She returned for me every night.
Returned me to the worlds I loved.
Then one night when she came for me.
When I was old and frail,
and She had not aged a day.
I asked Her once again to let me stay.
And She,
said Yes.<
