The Lady Danced
By: Ed Howdershelt
Wicca Works

Around the bonfire
Danced the Lady
The 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?"
