sending you may have been a blessing.
but then again....
As the thunder is heard,
And the rumbling never ceases.
You have come to rescue us.
For when the Gods were tired
They had nothing left,
They sent the only one they could.
And now you are here.
To bring what is rightfully theirs to call.
To know that you are not just one of them,
to know that you are part of us as well.
You are not a mere mortal but a son of Them and us.
when the Gods were tired,
They sent you to do their bidding.
and so the tale was spun.

The last line certainly does lend an 'old tale' feel to this piece, the way it is presented is like a first hand recounting of events, or how events came to be...the beginning of a tale, tantalising the reader into wanting more.
Good write.

Could you please change the title of the entry to the same as the title prompt please?
(I will comment properly when contest is ending, just incase your unsure when comments would go up).
Again, many,many thanks.

This calls to the zeitgeist of man. It rings with Jungian archtypes and captures the imagination in a deep resonant echo that carries on long after the poem. Very well done.
Love, Tom B.

Interesting
Has a certain ring of a crusade or noble deed arising. Very nicely done. Best of luck in the contest.
