Pantano

lady of the lake am i,

a watcher in the wood;

a restless spirit glowering,

depending on the mood;

a dragon soaring through the sky,

hunted and misunderstood;

reclusive goddess dowering

too timid to intrude.

 

all this and mystery i am

a tryst beneath the moon;

a demon or epiphany

of deity - unknown;

ecstatic wish-fulfilling gem,

blessing and excessive boon;

a seeress bearing infamy

for destinies forewarned.

 

i am of darkness, - of the womb,

a ray of perfect light;

amnesiac remembering,

like embers into fire.

with wisdom from beyond the tomb

a gift i bring, as if my right;

all this - my might - surrendering

your humble muse am i.
