A Walk Amongst Gods

She remembers the time

Oh so clear

When she flew above the clouds

The excitement of belonging

The taste of adoration 

The slight flush of power

Oh the sweet clear air 

For a moment

She 

Shared

That 

Air

With the Gods

And basked in the glow

So close

Then one turned

To look at her with eyes of the stormy sea

With furrowed brow

As if perpetually angry

But a smile that would melt

The coldest berg

Lured 

She drifted

Too close

Her hearting pounding

Until slowly the sky darkened

And other more sinister eyes

Turned toward her

The mortal who dared

This would not do

Voices rose

In a crescendo of disapproval

The air vibrated 

Melting her resolve

Enough 

To send her into freefall

Crashing back to Earth

A broken bundle

All because 

*She flew too close to the Sun*
