	Beginning With Us

**Title:** Beginning With Us  
**Author:** Utenakun  
**Series:** Revolutionary Girl Utena  
**Summary:** A poem narrated as a girl sets out into the world.  
**Rating:** G  
**Disclaimer:** Revolutionary Girl Utena is not mine, never was, never will be, world without end (VERY without end! ), amen.  
**Notes:** Just sat down and wrote this in one go after finishing the end of the Utena manga. Oh _god_ I love this series. Vague spoiler-ish hints about the ending, but nothing too major.

Come with me, love  
For the myths are over and done,  
Ring-promises have bloomed and have spent,  
Engagements and swords have broken.

The fragile shell has crushed into dust  
Under the silk-slippered foot of the princess,  
Yet I tell you now that you finally understand,  
We are free to make our own nobility.

And the roses no longer need watering  
Under the light of a distant star;  
They can now stand the pressure of daylight  
They can now grow so high on their own.

With the freedom you've granted yourself  
With the promise that this can only begin it,  
Miracles and revolution can truly come  
As soon as our meeting, beyond, becomes.

I swear to you, not ring,  
Nor magic, nor story, nor love,  
Can now lead you to me in this world  
For I know you shall find me yourself.


End file.
