To Chaya - An Ithean Sonnet to the Ancient One of Life and Blood
May 17, 2024
When we are born, we are bloody and warm
Our souls, they are fresh, our tales, still untold
Our new flesh is theirs, to cut, shape and form
Then, when we die, we are bloody and cold.
Our life is for blood, to spill and to dry
To hurt is to live, to bleed is to pray
Our worship is raw, to live is to die
If they see it fit, to rest we will lay
For birth or for death, our hearts they have yearned
In tandem, they live, in league they must work
A partnership great, divinity earned
A life without death is dark and is murk
An Ancient one of blood, lust, and of life
To live without hurt, to live within strife

“To Chaya” is a sonnet to a deity in Ithea, a fantasy world I have been building for the last few years. I started to build Ithea after writing a short story, “Art”, which went on to be my first published short story. I am an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, and originally began creating Ithea with the intent to run a campaign within it. I'm excited to run a few of these campaigns this summer!
