The moon is full and bright
cats are silent
for they know
she will soon appear

The shadows whisper her name
calling her to come
to join them
to be one of them

The leaves on the trees
are awestruck
as there from deep within
the shadows she treads forewards

Shadow and light see
dark and bright
From her eyes
shines death

Not a sound is heard
as she tilts her head
and listens
to the wind, the Earth, the water, the fire

The wind whisps through the trees
The Earth calls her to her knees
The water falls down on her
As the fire spreads around her

And with one brisk move
she puts them all to silence

Her empire is about to expand
from the realm of Death
to the world of the living

The Midnight Countess
obeys only the Ghost Of Death
And as she glides towards the light of day
Death and Life become one

She merely looks back and blinks
and everything disappears

she is alone again

but her Empire grows..
