I am from...  by WrriorBard

i am from athens

city of great pallas,

i am from delos, aeaea and crete.

i am from olympus,

from hades, the fields

i am from the very earth i long to be real.

i am from ocean, i am from land

i float free in the air

as i am burning in fiery tartarus.

i sprang forth from the woods

and out of the seas.

i came from his thigh,

and then from his head

i emerged from the box,

but did linger behind.

i came from the truth

tÕwas discord who bore me

i am a hestian virgin,

though it was ares who raised me.

i am from such fullness

and from the abyss

i am from akasha

sweetened like a kiss.

i am from darkness, i am from light

i am from the shadows that haunt me,

the realm which will never let me go.
