Night Goddess

As the sun sets behind the trees
and shadows fall across the land
She wakes from a day of slumber
and stretches out her hand
Her voice, soft as the sea
creates a magic in the air
This Night Goddess brings to life
a world of fantasy rare
With a warm, gentle touch
a weed becomes a rose
A sweet fragrance follows
everywhere she goes
She dances in the moonlight
with her hair hanging down
Swaying from side to side
in her long, flowing gown
The stones that guide her path
disappear into forest deep
Beware enchantment of her song
for your soul she'll surely keep

She guides you in the dark, from paths wary you must, and shows you the light that glow within the forests warm trust, a dancing goddess at best, from maiden to mother to crone, and guides you on your lifes path, till found at summerlands home...again, another beautiful piece of art.

She sounds like a goddess alright! What a terrific rhyme scheme and flow to this as this goddess takes form and comes to life. She takes souls too? A wonderful write. Michael
