Poem
An evening stroll, on Midsummer Night's Eve ,
under the silver light of the horizon moon.

Life that burst among a small acreage,
of old-growth forests, flourished.

A delightful flurry of fireflies, drifting,
twinkle among the foliage, an amazing sight.

Echoing sounds moan through bough
and leaves disturbed the night grew cold and grim.

A sudden quiet came, not a whisper,
of leaf or waving bough, not a breath of wind. 

The forest was swathed in gloomy shadow.

As I come upon an old museum adorned
with monolith standing stones.

Dim shadows obscured the eerie dark opening,
which formed a prelude to rivalries between evil and light.

Curiosity reeled me in, as my freighted body trembles.
What horrors wait inside? Annoying pride!

Please! Don't patronize me.", I told myself. 

And awful, clenching nauseous feeling came over me,
with every step into the dark gruesome cavernous hall.

I didn't' want to walk any farther. 

The moonlight sunk in casting shadows onto the walls. 

Hideous, vicious grins sneered from carvings against the walls.
A sanctuary once filled with strange world treasures, gold and jade idols,
scepters, swords and masks embellished in jewels.

Finding, on a marble pedestal sat a crystal oval jar ,
with a picturesque opaque lid with a two inch statue of the goddess Athena,
in a long flowing gown, she held a spear on her right, 
and a golden shield on the left .

An alcove on the far end of the wall sat a fiery red hair maiden,
wearing a flowing emerald green gown plucking the strings on a harp.
The musical sounds capturing the attention of whimsical creatures,
as a shimmering white Unicorn sat by her side.
Aromatic fragrance drifted within the room
with scent of blossoms and the cool sea filled the air. 
I found it beautiful, warm, and embracing. 

Not vindictive, but a smitten angel from heaven subduing nature.

An exciting victorious and fortunate feeling
flowed through my body, as I stared at her angelic sight.
