Dear Hecate

I once hated you For the power you have, The choices you make, The journeys that were supposed to be, How untimely you take them away. The grief and dispare that is left behind, The tourment of what could have been. I once feared you For the power you hold over me, The choice that you could make  At any second wrip me from my path. Frozen, I could not walk forward In paralized terror, afraid to move on; The horror of what could be. I once teased you For the power I discovered I had, The choice that I could make At any time I could end it all myself, Having no control of anything else, Laughing, mocking and selfishly leave behind The illusion of what should be. I once felt you, With the power that brushed my face, The choice that inevitably needed to be made, Between the light and the dark. Realizing my strength, not power. The rebirth, the freedom from the chains that bound The truth of what is meant for me to be. I now respect you For the power that you are, Your choices, your will to create, The roads that have yet to be seen. Listening to the spirits that have crossed, The wisdom, the understanding that they speak With faith, I now am able to live and be.

Additional Notes:
Hecate is a Goddess of the underworld, and because of this is mostly feared. She is also the Goddess of the deep dark inner emotions and truths that is usually trapped when not allowed to be felt and escape...feared as much as the Goddess herself.
