Emeralds Born of Eternal Fire

Emeralds Born of Eternal Fire

In the beginning of time there was light,
a light born of the womb of the Goddess.
Conceived from darkness, the God, this
Light was eternal.  

Within the Light the Powers manifested.
From the Light was born Air, from Air,
Fire, from Fire, Earth, from Earth, Water
and from all of these Spirit was born.

Willed by the Great Polar Powers these 
elements are the ingredients of creation.
Everything is made of the Powers.  Every
inanimate object to every creature.

People are the most powerful creations.
The strongest mixture of the Powers lies
within mankind.  We are the elements in their
most raw form.  Powerful and weak.

Some of us are different.  Less of a mixture,
and more like one Great Power.  You are one
of the unique.  When the Goddess made you
She made you all Fire.  Quick to consume yet
easy to put out.

She forged your eyes of emeralds and cast them
into this great Fire.  Faerie Fire of the most fearsome 
kind.  Your eyes crackle and sparkle with the eternal
Fire that drives all.  

Emeralds born of eternal Fire do not dispaire.
Do not be quick to die.  Water is so easy to give
into.  But don't you see?  Yours is the fire that 
drives all.  Emeralds born of eternal fire do not
blink, do not close, do not go blind.

Emeralds born of eternal Fire please don't cry.
Who has seen Fire cry? I have, and I fear it.
My dear Emeralds don't let your inspiring light
become melancholy.  

I will be your shield against Air and Water.  Nothing
shall consume your wondrous flare as long as I am
here.  For if your Fire goes out there will be one less
beautiful light in this world.  

My Spirit who is drawn to your Fire like a suicidal
moth to a flame.  Will surely die a slow death if the
Fire, which lies behind your Emerald eyes, is snuffed out.

Dear Emeralds born of eternal Fire please don't cry….

***Note: I do not know any Pagan creation myths.  This is just
my own personal myth.

Reason for writing:

    My friend was really down and depressed...this was just an
atempt to make her feel better.
