Student of the Teaching Goddess

Student of the Teaching Goddess


She came to me in troubled youth
and guided me toward her light
but still I could not bask in grace
or feel her love divine.
I stood alone, a sorrowful soul,
blinded by the haze of painand
with laden heart I took the pills
to end my burdened life.
I was cast adrift in sorrow's
depths with no reprieve,
no sanctuary in which to rest my head.
I reached the threshold and
bargained at Death's gate,
but she would not set me free,
for the many truths I had yet to learn.
She held me in her arms,
a sanctuary I could not see,
for always I had been there
and always her divine hand
had guided me. And when
my spirit finally fell and
collapsed at the cliff's rock bottom,
she was there, standing over me,
with loving arms stretched out,
pulling me up to stand,
and in that moment she showed me,
my path and the rocky road
upon which I must tread.
And though my path
is painful at times
and sorrow filled within,
I stand and walk
beside her in grace
with but one desire,
to offer a bit of hope
to those still blinded
to the potential of their
own grace of fate.
She walks with me in shadowlands,
that I cast in my world alone,
and now I walk within her circle,
a student, she willingly teaches
with love eternal.
