The Lady Of Stone

One day the water called  
Where the wild reeds did grow  
 and I saw her sitting there
 With an arrow and a bow
 
 The water drew me closer  
 Promised
 To shed my pains away
 shimmering shards of blue topaz
 And in the grass, I lay
 
 Large ringlets of the blackest obsidian  
 Sparkled in the sunlight  
 With jewels of the brightest silver
 Ran past her swan-like kneck  
 Forming rivulets down her back
 
 Her eyes danced over my face
 Emeralds of the brightest green  
 And when they met with mine  
 Pierced the core Of my being
 
 Her mouth slowly bloomed into  
 Ruby red smile of sweet serenity
 Her words brought me face to face  
 With my own mortality
 
 Her skin shone with an inner glow
 Smooth white marble that  
 Seemed to come
 From another world
 
 And when she shook her curls  
 They sparkled like the sun
 She wore an amethyst gown
 Like a queen of times gone by  
 Flowing like billowing waves around her
 
 And at her foot, a wolf did lie
 All around her trembled carnelian flowers
 In the wild wind that did blow
 She plucked some flowers of  
 Yellow jasper and placed them in her bow
 
 From her lips came the faintest hum.
 Her wolf howled a deep call
 And tears came to my eyes
 For I knew at once I was looking upon  
 Diana of the skies.
