I guard your eyes at the dawning... <br />Veiling you from intrusion. <br />I guard your face in sleep. <br />I sing demons of dreams back <br />Into their Abysses. <br /> <br />I know your dreams long before <br />You. <br />If mine tarry...bring me a kitten. <br />Or baby owl I can name <br />Archimedes <br />As Merlin did... <br />A life-long confidant. <br /> <br />I bring air melodies, responding <br />Sighs from Eldritch Forests... <br />That receive no footsteps. <br />I whisper fire to life, fashion tea, <br />Gather olden sustenance. <br /> <br />One dawn, when sadness disappears <br />From your face... <br />When all is right in your morning... <br />When you laugh at the world again... <br />I will tell you my real name. <br /> <br />For now... <br />I am called Woman. <br />Only gods can create more <br />Than me.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-woman-4/
