She is Alone

she dances under the stars
in the sparkling mist
nothing to bind her
to what the world wants
not even the burden of cloth

in her mind she is queen
in her soul she is goddess
in her heart she is empress
of all that surrounds her
in the soft glow of moonlight
the trees bow to her
in the gentle summer breeze
as she sits by her waterfall

she is her own ruler
and not a being can change that
she is strong and proud
and will not yield
to the darkness that crawls inside
she will dance it away
as she twirls under black sky
and falls to the ground
to feel the cool grass
upon her porcelain skin

Flaxen hair set in soft glow
as soft blue eyes close to the night
and she dreams of the reality
she knows
No man will take her place
she dances on her own
she is strong alone
