OWC || An ode to my deities

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･' Merry meets, everyone '･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

Edit: thank you for the feature :two_hearts:

Once I read the prompt of this week’s OWC I knew I wanted to participate. But why? We may ask

Because I have been told that I had no voice. I have been told that my throat was empty. Then, what is the best way to create one’s voice? With words.

I’ve always been afraid of words. In classes, I would just sat down and wait until I received instructions. Even if it was just to write a poem.

But today, I choose to brave my fear. And today I choose to connect with myself. It was hard and I feel very shy right now haha. I hope that you and my deities will be gentle on me.

I sincerely apologise if some of my sentences/words may seem weird as English is not my mother tongue.

But we learn from our mistakes, and after all, these OWC are here for us to take a step out of our comfort zone and learn.

For Him who carries away our fears,

He who takes care of our griefs,

I want to sing how He breathes life into our darkness

He who greets the regrets of those who have met Death

Even when our hope is gone;

He makes us that we should go on

He who makes us realise,

That abundance is not only riches and wealth,

but also, to have a calm mind and inhale a deep breath,

For Her, the bud in the spring’s meadows

She whose petals brush my skin

I wanted to write rhymes and proses

her dance as she spins

Like the Little Thumb, she throws petals in our way

We can take her hand and go to the right direction,

As flowers grow under her protection,

For his Queen

For her King

I would sing

For Her, whose laugh sparks my life

Whose love calms down any strife

For She, who shows us that beauty is not what it may seem

As true beauty comes from within

She gives love when there is war,

But gives war where love is forgotten,

Mother of Harmonia who shows us,

That even life can’t escape,

The harmony of both love and hate,

For Lord Hades, God and King of the Underworld

Who shows us that life is worth it, and happiness is a blessing;

Who catches us when we fell, who hugs us when we burn out;

Always helping and caring

For Lady Persephone, Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld,

Who brings rebirth with her ascend

And who sends hopes as she descends

For Lady Aphrodite, Goddess of love, beauty and war,

Who smiles when we are at peace with ourself;

From the Ocean foam she comes

and glitters disperse as she runs

For you, beloved deities

I sing and praise

I thank you all for your blessings

And for helping all my days

And I wish whoever may read this a wonderful day :two_hearts:
