Summary: A nightly ritual for a hermit.
The Lady holds
Her mystery in
Silent waiting orb.
Her milky white lantern
Hidden in the darkness
Of velvet ebony night.
Sun King gives way as
Sweet New Moon weaves
Her veil of star light and
Pulsing ebb and flow.
She speaks not a word
Her call answered deep
Within the heart that turns
Within to claim her hidden light.
The Silent Moon is calling
The rite of the Hermit has begun.
