Author: Stardust of Orion

Rating: K+

Warnings: Pretty much nothing bad here. SPOILER ALERT- Not really, but it would be better if you read the last book of the series.

Summary: A quick overview story-poem of Sita's life, though not much specifically pertaining to the events in the series.

Author's Note: I wrote this several years ago. My poetry has vastly improved since then, although let's face it, I'll never be a great poet. Still, I wanted to get people's opinions before I began rewriting this one, so I'd appreciate any reviews.

"Sita's Song"

I was there when the pyramids

were built beneath the moon

and I was there when bombs

fell on peaceful London.

I've watched the sun set a million times

and heard the cry of war.

I've had a thousand lovers

and known the beautiful Lord Krishna.

I've been with the living

and watched them leave with Death.

I've walked this earth for centuries

and seen the dawning of an age.

I've longed for life to return-

for Rama and little Lalita.

I've hoped for Death to come

but he's always passed me by.

I've hungered for things which cannot be

and cried a river of blood.

And now, as gracious Death

finally comes for me,

I lift up a song of thanks

to the one who said he'd always protect

and I pray that I might be able

to embrace pale lonely Death.
