I Am She (speaking of prepositions....)
I am she who walks
In darkness
Below starlight
With angels and demons
Along paths that are lonely
Through shadows
By whispers
Among beams of sunlight
Within shimmers of memory
Between the haunted and the darkling
Toward ghosts and old dreams
Across the forbidden and forsaken
Beside legends
Onto battlefields
Underneath wraiths of cloud
Beyond all shreds of doubt
In front of mirrors all naked
Past swords and all anger
Into blackness
Behind stones and doors
Like a snake
Without fear
Up to edges of glory
From dusty old stairwells
To closets of forgotten dreams
Inside doors always locked
Near murmurs of death
Despite trembling and fear
For all that is good
On all that is earth
Beneath the skies and the gods
Until all comes to naught
Except virtue and vice
Since these are eternal
Under the heavens
Outside of all time
Up under the shells of dead thoughts
Upon the skin of the world
Down under its sinew
Throughout its lands and its peoples
During highstorms and weepings
After the riddens
Above the crashing tide
Against it all, the madness, the bitterness
But also the stillness
In spite of all longing
Instead of all joy
At the threshold of victory
Before the doors of fulfillment
Because of the darkness
Out from the light
Over all these memories and twistings
About things unknowable
Since they are what's worthy
Of all things in life
Off edges bold daring
I am she who walks.
