The Lady Danced   by Ed Howdershelt

---

Around the bonfire
Danced the Lady
Drums kept up
A steady beat
 
Humming softly
To Herself
She built within
A certain Heat
 
I stood at
Her circle
Rapt and
entranced
 
She placed
Herself
Near me as
She danced
 
For quite some time
She swayed before me
This Goddess-Woman
Appraised me there
 
Then suddenly
her dance had ended
So close I wanted
To touch her hair
 
She governed her
Heat By act of will;
She met my eyes
And stood quite still
 
I asked myself;
"Has She chosen me?"
"Will I be Her One,
as I prayed to be?"
 
The Lady spoke;
"You're bewitched, I see."
"Will you come be my One?"
"Will you love with me?"
