Cool, smooth ivory skin emerges
As hazy fabric falls away, allowing the pale figue
To caress the forest floor with iridescent blaze
Stepping lightly through brush and tangled briars
Fondling fern and frond
Branding spruce and cedar with her smoldering gaze
Silent she sweeps from pine-needled paths
To elliptical pebbles of the ice-river shore
And her toes dangle in swirls of current
She glows at the thought of creatures deep in slumber
Curled warm about one another in deep burrows
Hidden dens, frosted fields
She owns the very land- protects, nourishes, treasures it all
Her children dance in ecstasy at her anticipated arrival
And tonight she shall kiss thier palms
Brandishing her body, naked, round and proud
She appears, her dress twinkling with the light
Of distant stars
And she smiles
"I am Lady Moon," she rustles, "here to grace the dark with light."
And her children press their palms towards the sky
In eternal, passionate praise
