Lady Of The Lake... Poem by moon batchelder

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.
