"Little Sister"

I live in the shadow

of Hercules,

iron grey titan with ungentle priests.

"We have brought you up from nothing," they proclaim.

"We have brought you up from nothing,

you are ours."

Shrouded in his shadow, I know nothing.

Who am I to question origin?

Who am i to challenge Fate?

Small and slender wrists were made for chains,

eyes of azure blinded by the sun.

By logic, yes, I needs be locked away...

made obeisant to a chosen One.

Yet no man bore witness to my birth,

so how can any, even priests, begin to know

if I might have sprung,

fully-formed,

from my Father's crown.

    This poem emphasizes the inherent sovereignty that is shimmering within your essence, noble and yet so full of humanity. You FEEL what you write and it shows, that is what attracts me to your work. The excellent skill that you have perfected with language arts is icing.

    I like it. It's a bit dark, but full of wisdom and insight.

    An interesting thought process and discussion of a family becoming.

    The pattern is also interesting.
