A Day With the Gods -- Part 1 of 2
I spoke with Gaia, the Goddess of earth,
And we sat beneath her trees so green,
I ran my fingers across young blossomed flowers,
And told her I had business to be seen.
I said "Oh Gaia, I seem to have fallen in love so far,
We are separated by land masses,
Please have mercy on our hearts.
Let us build a bridge,
Of your grass and soil.
Let us love correctly.
Let our love uncoil!"
She replied to me and said
"My dearest child, I truly pity,
But the problem lies not within forest or city.
I regret, my dear, to give news of this notion,
The problem, I'm afraid, lies within the ocean.
My trees and my rocks would not benefit thee,
You must visit Poseidon, God of the sea. "
Onward I ventured,
Across Gaia's fields and mountains,
Until I saw sparkling water,
A sea surrounded by fountains.
Poseidon greeted me,
And shook my small hand,
As I asked for assistance,
I dug my toes in his sand.
"Oh Poseidon" I cried "I'm in love so deep,
Please save me from my misery,
Across your ocean, is where he must keep.
Please part your waters,
And allow me to pass,
So I can see my love,
And hold him at last."
"I'm sorry," he answered,
"That's out of my reach,
I cannot bring you from beach to beach.
My sea is too busy to make that split,
The sea floors would serve as an unwalkable pit.
There is one solution to this issue you speak of,
Visit Aphrodite, the Goddess of love."
