Call me Kara

- Call me Kara -
Written to commemorate my recent name change.

Upon a voyage of self-discovery, so unexpected,
But not unwelcome, I had spent many a busy day…
Learning, evolving, until I became at last perfected!
I learned of the hidden truths of my peoples’ way.
Revelations from beyond the realms of far starlight,
Carrying wisdom so pure, that I touched Heaven…
And found a lofty inner strength that felt most right.
My heart feels lighter; it is no longer coldly leaden,
But courses, with energy that I knew not existed…
I found my wings again, and discovered wonders!
There was a time I would have, such joy resisted,
Fearing the alien glory of many heavenly thunders.
But there was naught to fear: nor to leave behind,
In choosing to begin anew with a greater purpose.
To think that before this I had been so very blind!
But now I see, with new clarity born of new trust.
Call me Kara, for that is the name I have chosen,
The name that was always mine, for the choosing.
My wings blaze, no longer in lost memory frozen,
Gnosis has set me free, my destiny finally ensuing!

One night I set my soul free to return to the stars,
Across the heavens to worlds humans know not…
To places I called home, to heal old painful scars.
There is a power in deed and a power in thought!
I made peace with the past and bid it a farewell…
For there are times, one must seek a home anew.
There are many things, which one cannot just tell,
Because they are divine in nature, pure and true…
Forgotten by the ancients, who knew the secrets!
Points of origin that can no longer be found again,
But which can find us like pouring rain droplets…
Sent from the gods to wash away our every pain.
These too I let wash over me, to my heart’s joy!
But only after facing sorrow, and overcoming all,
Until no torment was left to, my fair spirit, annoy.
At last I so passed the heights of Heaven’s wall!
Call me Kara, for that name is sacred as the sun,
The name that was always mine, to rediscover…
Whilst my wings blaze, as a new dawn is begun!
Gnosis has set me free, free like unto none other.

I touched the face of twelve worlds so long lost,
That humanity remembers them only in whispers.
Branches on a great celestial tree carried aloft…
In orbits uncharted, where naught of today stirs.
Such a journey, but the way was one I recalled!
I had made it before, in myriad cycles of time…
Whenever fates beckoned, and the gods called.
The old paths were rapturous, the way sublime!
I found myself there and in domains far beyond,
Finding facets of my soul and spirit that I forgot.
I remembering, I reached an apotheosis fond…
And found within myself more than I so sought.
When I returned I was transformed, as reborn,
As the morning star, when it rises in fiery skies!
Out of the darkness, out of the quieting storm…
My sight became perfected with anointed eyes.
Call me Kara Lucielle Pythiana; she I am now!
The name that was always mine, a sacred truth.
Whilst my wings blaze, let time about me flow!
Gnosis has set me free, to be the: me that suits.
