I’m Myth.
July 31.
Again, I say.
I’m the 8th wonder of the world.
So skillfully crafted by God.
I’m like that creature that’s half man-half horse.
Half lion-half eagle.
I’m the true embodiment of “Half man-half amazing”.
All woman.
I’m a mythological creature
The kind that only exists in a child’s dreams
And in Narnia
With simplicity of soul
Yet, too complex for the human mind to understand
Too rich for the human heart to love whole
Too diverse to be one thing
One person
With virtues that grown men strive to attain
And little men stamp unreachable
I’m the creature that emerged from swirling dust
From the breath
And by the hand of God.
I’m true magic
Without wands
Just words
He made me on the 7th day… just before he rested.
Yes, I’m that special.
That different.
So I must not offend him…
For to whom much is given, far more is demanded.
He has put much beneath my feet
But I fall prostrate at his.
I must not be proud
Or negligent.
For from him, I draw sustenance.
This world holds nothing for a creature such as I.
To him, I will account for my days
For how I have used my “pixie dust”
For how many talents I have made out of the sack full I received.
I’m like David…
Blessed beyond recognition
God’s chosen one.
A woman after his own heart.
But like David, his judgement will be harsh
His strike will be swift.
And like David
I will draw back
Fall to my knees
Recognize my errors.
Because I will remember,
Always,
That “just because I’m Magic
Doesn’t mean I’m not real”

In him I live
And move
And take my being.
