*Spoiler Alert*  Don't read this unless you've seen through Madoka Magica episode 10.





Akemi Homura, pursuing hope through time and space,
chasing your sweet Madoka, never giving up the chase.
Sacrificing everything, no price you find too high.
No care beyond succeeding, regardless if you die.
You skip between the seconds, outracing every foe.
(except the one inside yourself, the whisper that says, "No.")
You mustn't falter or lose heart and give in to despair.
Only faith in friendship's strength can save her, if you dare.
Repeating every failure... Enduring every pain...
Every path you tread along seems to be in vain.
Endless is your striving, countless times she dies.
Time and time again you fail and must listen to her cries.
Can you ever save her, or is doom her only fate?
How many times before your grief turns into bitter hate?
Don't give up, Homura!  She needs you, you're her friend.
Protect your precious Madoka until the very end.
I've become somewhat enamored lately of an anime called Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Not your typical magical girl anime. In any case, one of the characters in this anime, Akemi Homura, has become a bit of an obsession for me. I simply love her to death. This poem is in honor of her, and the monumental task she has undertaken. Just for context, this is being posted in the time period after episode 10 has aired, but before episode 11. There has been a long layoff due to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan (my hopes that everyone over there can be safe and recover as well as possible). The poem is fairly spoilerific, I guess I'd advise not reading it unless you've seen up through episode 10, or don't plan to watch the anime. If you'd like, let me know what you think of it.
