Secret Ladee of the Night
I remember so well
dancing that last, wild dance
A journey across the essence of time
Once upon a midnight clear
I danced beneath the waning moon
wanting to drink
the sweet wine of forgetfulness
The sometimes, bitter fruit
left a taste of regret
upon my tongue.
Now, in my older years
I’ll reclaim that woman child
I’ll believe in faeries and flying saucers
and wash my face in fresh, fallen rain
I’ll wear bright, wild, plume feathered hats
I’ll have a secret name
that no one knows but me
Then I’ll laugh at those
whose judgements‘ and absurdities'
so riled my fury
I'll pray for the sweet nature of other spirits
to take up their beat within my heart
I’ll be…
The Secret Ladee Of The Night
