The time had come to face the demons <br />To stand and roar in defiance <br />To spray the destroyers with fire <br />So all may be renewed again. <br /> <br />The godess had relied on her god <br />Taken strength from his desires <br />But now that time was over <br />Now the strength must come from within <br /> <br />Each day she sits and draws on the past <br />Finding the answers to her calls <br />She will not be denied this time <br />Her messages must be heard. <br /> <br />She feels some sorrow at the losses <br />Wishes some things could be the same <br />But knows that in the end <br />This change must occur <br /> <br />She has chosen the path less taken <br />The path that faces the wind <br />She will be buffeted about <br />But her evolution will be stronger <br /> <br />This path leads through torment <br />This path leads through dispair <br />But it also will reach the heights of great elation <br />She will feel joy in the end. <br /> <br />She wishes her god had not chosen his path <br />But knows that he has done right <br />She can stand through her trials <br />She will one day show them all.<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/path-less-taken/
