Defining Moments

April 23^rd, 2012:

Baby girl I left you a text message and a voice mail. I have failed you as I have failed my son. I should have been home that day instead of going to college when he was kidnapped. I should have never told you about my past. I have written a poem for you.

THE RISING-THE DIACONOMY

In the hours of darkness no one knows my own heartbeat, the ways to which I create,

Within the legends of time no one knew me in a way that you did,

Sitting under the moonlight I listen to the tides of life’s song,

The silence echoes unto my world for she now walks in the shadows of Luna.

This night I sit under the gateway of the moonlight,

Each waking day I pray unto thee for an answer

When one night a shadow came unto me,

“Child of light can you forgive use for what we have done?”

Slowly a smile came unto me,

“For years I have protected for years I have followed the di’arta”

The shadow bowed its head,

“You took the one thing that meant the most just to see if I would become stronger, you took my true love, why?” I dost asked.

The wind came thru the willow tree,

“I refuse to give up, this I pray tell you my path though I walk alone,”

The light of the moon swept through glistening unto the waters as Black Panther

Began to rise from the waters,

The spirit the shadow begins to back up,

“Etore panthera, how is this possible?”

I stand up smiling,

“Humanity is but a shell of dreams. My spirit the spirit of love will not bend.

I will not give up. IF I alone must speak for my soul mate, then I shall for I am me.”
