Mistress

Mistress

Have I seen you before?
A lifetime ago, or more?

Our souls danced intimately under many a star.

The outward is outgoing,
but your eyes show a different truth.

Sometimes they look at me curiously.

You just haven't chalked it up to years and years ago...
when I was allowed to love all.

There was no jealousy.

I shared myself with everyone.

I caressed your calves,
like stones of an ancient river...
so smooth and soft against my lips.

And you,
you admired me more than anyone else,
but I could not be just yours.

For I am the Earth's.
And I am the Light.

And although we may seem separate matter,
we are all the same stardust.
