From “The Birth of the Gorgon”
For every monster, a hero is born
to end its tyranny, and to bring forth
its demise. Medusa saw hers born in
a flash of lightning in the sky, as she
was cast down from Athena’s eyes to the
scorching desert of Sarpedon

From “The Prophecy”
Like the sun retreats in the west each night,
and as sure as the day will draw to an
end each evening, a mortal’s life hastens
to end in an uncertain amount of
hours, days and years.

From “The Last One”
One should be leery of the guest who comes

by accident, but by a careful plan.

From “The Gatekeeper”
The gatekeeper revels in the power
of denial, deciding who’s worthy
and who is not. The lack of entry quells
the voice of the powerless and those who
lack the proper keys.

From “The Beggar”

Only then can it be understood
and treated with acceptance
