An ode to Terra

I am a writer.

I have the power to give joy and inflict pain.

Create love and destroy it.

Travel to worlds that only exist in my mind.

Worlds that are so beautiful and yet so perilous.

Filled with conflict and death, magic and mystery.

My villains will haunt your dreams.

My heroes will inspire them.

Get lost in the deep subconscious of their minds.

Feel their terror and their sorrow.

Know their successes and their failures

Full of flaws and insecurities, they are as real as you or I

Take the journey with them and you will remember their stories.

Cry, scream, laugh, and rejoice. For when it's all over, you will relish in their triumph.
