Charlotte Ozment – 1 poem 

Dawning

 

In the valley

of forgotten gods

she came, bringing

her cape of stars,

a celestial choir

tucked into the seams.

 

The fabric of her

luminance out-shown

the gloom, and the elders

whispered, on edge.

 

The moon had followed

her, caught up in

the wake of her

innocence, illuminating

hidden champions,

their agendas yet worn.

 

On a cloud built

of discontent she bathed

in the cosmic lights

that erupted from

her thoughts,

and the crows came

to learn her intent

so to fill our terra

with mystery.
