My First Deity Sighting
Silence oozed throughout the forest.
We were in our mushroom house, unaware
That Hummingbird woman was on her way.
She is a mysterious creature of prophecy
Who appears rarely to elves, more often to faeries.
And we definitely have no fairies in this elf house.
Actually, as far as I knew, faeries were make believe.
I had never seen one, and I was eight-years-young.
Hummingbird woman peeked into the window.
I screamed like I had been stung by a killer hornet
Or queen of the bumblebees. My mother slapped me.
You will scare her off! She said. Alas, she had dissipated.
It was the first and last time I ever saw a deity.
After this experience I doubted I ever wanted to see another one.
