Metaphysical thoughts cast shadows on

moonlit crystals as they morph into

ladies in waiting dancing around your crown.

A princess of the night moved by the day, you move

from the shadow of man into the world of trees and

stones. Smoothed strokes on stones flung far in your

waters sprinkling the night with ribbons of spray as you

wash your body in the moonlight. I stand in awe as I

travel the night by the stream and see your blonde hair

starlit in the pool's reflection bathing the night with your

beauty. You’re naked only to carnal man.  Nature holds

you in natural pose as you walk in the beauty of your

night. To be with one so real, so angelic is why I walk

these paths at night. Searching for my place in this world.
Troubled no more by the darkness that prevails, I cast my
glance to how you move with grace and purpose.  Your

feet carry air underneath as you seem to glide over my

now growing wood.  I am smitten by your metamorphic

nature. Reincarnated from my dreams I sense how

powerful you truly are. I am truly walking on holy ground

as your body is lain down amongst the sleeping field of

wild flowers. I inhale your essence as the scents fill my

mind with resolve and an inclination that I must continue

on through the night. I cannot navigate the night as you.

Obstacles force their way to my feet catching me by the

arm or scratching me with thorns and brambles. Yet I

transport my thoughts to where you are. The darkness is

thick as I try and swim my way through the swift black

that holds currents fast against me.  I breathe yet no

breath is in me. My muscles ache as the fire of life steals
my strength. You’re just ahead in the dark. The moon full,
casts its glow on you.  Your fingers beckon me forward,

yet my feet are mired in the dark. I struggle against the

weight of stars and moon, shadows beguile me, yet I

move not. On hands and knees I struggle for life as

darkness captures me.  A child of Light I am, yet darkness
becomes you. I lay in my stupor, failing once again yet I

sense a light shining on my face. I stand once again in

awe as you draw back the curtain of darkness to reveal

the dawn. You wrap the darkness around your shoulders

as my feet move again.  Till the dusk takes me away to

the night I am yours I hear you say. Your life morphed

into the love that I have sought as you moved the night

away just for me.
