Back to The Beginning

(This has been recollected from a dream. At the time it was startling in its intensity and detail)
She' d seen everything
Done everything
Tired and jaded from exhaustion
She weighed her options
As she flew across the sea
Danced along its surface really
Startling beauty against the setting sun
Summer, winter, heaven, hell...
Every portal was open to her
Mars, Pluto, ...Atlantis...
Boring! reechoed in her mind
Hitler, Chanakya, Cesar, Rameses...
Damn! She'd seen all of them
She hated repeating herself
Then suddenly an idea came
And she smiled
Automatically
Darn it! Who would have thought?
She smiled once more
And magically blushed
She knew where she needed to be
With the one heart that had captured hers
Before it had given out
She'd teach him to be strong- just like her
She'd show him marvellous things
She'd see him smile- still innocent
And thoroughly taken with her idea
She went to be a nanny- if you could call her that
To the small boy who called to her
From right across the shore
