You were the wind
Graceful and fleeting
Untouchable and serene
The Goddess they had always called you
Soaring above the mundane world
On wings of the sky.
Who could have imagined
That you would fall so fast
And hit so hard.
Like an angel with its
Wings torn off,
You fell.
You fell to Earth
And landed in the lap of humanity
Becoming what you had never been before.
Human.
From Goddess to Rebel to Human
And all the changes
That took ahold of you
Were too much for me to take.
I felt like you betrayed me.
Little did I know
How torn you were
Between life and duty,
Love and pain.
And had I known
I wouldn't have been so hard on you
At least that's what I'd like to think.
I know it hurt you
When I ran to others for comfort.
To you I was the daughter
You'd never have.
Maybe that fragile link
Was the reason I was so deeply hurt.
I was losing you to humanity
And you were losing me to others.
The memories of you I had
As the regal Goddess
And the untouchable Queen
Kept me from seeing the turmoil in your soul.
The desperate need for change
And rebellion.
Now you're gone.
You gave your life to save the world, again,
To close a portal
And lock the Adversary away.
But I saw you at the end.
You were beautiful
You were the Goddess again.
Only this time a Goddess
Who knew humanity
And was better for having known
Yes, it was then
Just before you died
That I saw you.
The you that I knew.
The Goddess and the human
Had become one
There was no separation line.
So goodbye Goddess,
The wind cries without your presence.
Goodbye Windrider,
The cold rains are here.
They drip from my eyes
And land on a picture.
A picture with smiling,
A picture of the best times of my life.
Goodbye Ororo
Farewell.
I love you and I miss you.
