Grace at your left. Mercy at your right. Guard rails for dangerous times.
You've been silent by choice, resting. All of you curled and coiled, nested in the safest, darkest place.
Harsh blows smoothed only by time and distance repeat themselves without permission. A call from home to remember. The forged metal in you feels the strike of each one. A call to arms.
You rise, feeling her weave up your spine as you do so. Do you know what she is here to do, the serpent at your feet? Is your world ready for what she brings now that she is awake?
You've seen this woman before, this woman who accepts the snake that cycles through her. I'm sure you have. Although it's not certain you've noticed her.
She cares deeply and absolutely doesn't care. All at once. And it's not even a contradiction. She makes it look like the most nature thing in the world. She carries both annihilation and possibility and makes them look weightless.
Be afraid when you see her. But not fearful.
