rendez-vous

I met her at the temple of learning
she told me who she was

she is the goddess of blood
she led me towards a river
she told me to follow and I jumped in with her
the river led towards a waterfall and the current was too strong
she had the ability to swim upstream
I did not
she told me I would see her again
but I did not know when
I fell over the waterfall and shattered into a million pieces

I flowed through hastened rivers, slow lakes and finally into the grand ocean
There I waited eons for fire to lift me
I journeyed up with the air to meet my vessels of earth
on which I descended back to the land below
As each of my drops lands I'm being reformed on the unsteady ground

It won't be long now until I meet her again
the goddess of blood
The cycle must be completed
the lesson must be learned
