Midnight Wanders

Calling up the water with her delicate finger,
Twirling it up gracefully, masking her nudity;
As if she cares, one like her.
The night sky glowing with wonder,
With its light reflecting off of our maiden,
Her skin glowing as the moon; aqua gown twinkling as the stars.
Slowly, softly, she begins to hum,
Floating along with her own lullaby,
Dancing with elegance upon the face of the moon,
Leaping from one star onto another.
The water ripples; giggling along with her,
As the sweet laughter carries from her cherry blossom lips
Stirs the leaves of the forest ever so slightly;
Chilling and entrancing all that hear.
And still she glides upon the water,
With her aqua gown trailing along behind;
The pond gasping at her every motion.

Numerous times this episode has played,
And always it ends the same.
On these nights the path is dark;
Luscious trees hide the night sky’s golden glow.
As he would wander, frightened and alone,
She would begin to call;
Her beauteous harmony tickling his ears.
The summoned man would come,
Following the trail of bitter sweet song.
Nearing the light, his eyes glittered with awe,
While the lullaby ceased, and her laughter aroused.
Locking his eyes onto hers;
The aqua gown raining down onto the pond,
Her feet gracefully brushing on the mud.  
Tempting him, she would promenade onto shore,
Running her hands on his smooth face,
Granting him one last glorious smile
Before taking him, as all the others.
