Sent From the Stars
Karen Torbiak
2000

The message was sent
far into the stars
to be received
by the furthest galaxy

The cry for help came
loud and strong
as it vibrated from
star to star to reach
it’s destination

It came in the form of prayers
on bended knees
begging that a miracle
could be sent to save

It came in song
as a cry of help
sent into the heavens
with a bright hope
that something could change

It came as poems
written from the hearts
of those whom had suffered
the loss and desperately
wanted it found

And so she was chosen
among all assembled
to gather the weapons
and use them on this small blue world

Thigh high silver boots
she wore with a metal on the heels
that sent sparks of brilliant whiteness
flying with each step she took

Her dress flowed long
down her back to her ankles
and just below the thighs
of her boots in front

The sleeves were long
flowing downwards
in beautiful cascades of silver

All made of a soft metal
that slid along her perfectly
as she moved

Designed for strength
and protection
as she moved through space
to her final destination

Her hair cascaded dark
and beautiful down her back
with diamonds scattered though out it
denoting the high rank she held

As she traveled through the stars
she gathered the weapons needed
for a planet filled with selfishness

Each weapon filled with the power
of a star itself was clipped
to her belt as she traveled forward

All would be needed
if this battle were to be won
and prayers answered

She radiates the power gifted to her
as she streaks through space
leaving a trail lighting the heavens
and bringing awe to all
who observe her passing

She considers her mission
and is saddened
that these final steps
must be taken to ensure the future

The planet she travels to
is known in the high councils
from which she has come

The cries of mothers and babies
have flooded the meetings
where steps have had to be
put into place
while the very angels wept

At last she stands above this planet
where hate, anger and pain
have so long been the order of things

She gathers her weapons
again sorrowful
that these humans will not learn
the lessons so clearly written

With her own prayer in her heart
she releases each weapon
timed differently
to enter and circle
the atmosphere of Earth

As each one lines up in its orbit
she checks them to make sure
none is forgotten

Each one has a color
to match its power
and these must blend perfectly
for the proper affect

They are ready!
Sparkling in their brilliance
as she prepares to detonate
this powerful weapon

It will be felt by all
and drive into each human
to the very soul of who they are,
making changes forever

She hits the button
and pays careful attention
to the irreversible condition
now activated

Brilliant colors blend
and spread to engulf the whole earth
in the most beautiful rainbow
of colors ever seen

It is done
and now we must wait
to see if the attack has been
successful for mankind

All was given
in this final attempt
to win the battle
against hate, anger and pain

All the love of the ages
was placed in these weapons
as a last chance
wherever love is dying out

Will man continue
to destroy these weapons
made to defeat the evils
that haunt this world???

Will man reject again
this great gift
sent from the councils of heaven???

The weapons are simple
and all can use them
to save mankind

Tenderness-peach
Friendliness-burgundy
Cherish-pink
Charity-blue
Compassion-rose
Understanding-green
Acceptance-purple
Benevolence-silver
Kindness-yellow
Grace-gold
Mercy-white



Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com

Thank you so much Tony. This is no role reversal. She is one of seven to be sent with warning before the seven distroying angels. *grin* I love to use my imagination to bring vision to life. I am glad you enjoyed her.
