Deep night air, cool and crisp hugging myself to keep warm wishing I stayed at home in front of the fire. Left early this morn to walk away my troubles. Didn't pay attention to where I was goin' as long it was away. In the woods I marched in the afternoon air through briars and bogs not a soul around, found some berries; red as sin and firey in the stomach. Let me sit a spell... ...when I awoke 'neath a layer of Leaves how strange it should be I cannot move as if bound to this spot. This will go away with the coming of the morning sun I thought. The full Moon as if silver refined, polished announced its arrival over yonder mountains close very close. Its silvery light illuminated the forest roundabout. Out of the circle of Trees She came highlighted in the silver light of the Moon. A Goddess of the Night of the Forest. Robed in thin white delicate, Tall, graceful, exquiste in all her womanly ways. Long golden flowing hair shimmering in the cold light, Eyes that spoke of Life, Lips that would bring life back to the dead. What she wore swirled 'round her as she danced, twirled. Amazing the moves she made how I don't know. Does she see me? Does she know I'm right here? Front row seat. Round and round she went, I am glued to the spot a show just for me.... ------------------ |

Ooohh, that was just me you saw....I was taking my evening walk through the forest , yeh, that's it ! Didn't mean to alarm you....  Cranberries never did that for me, they just give me gas!! Yours must have been spiked with Viagra....!! LOL ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..."
