Shadow Dancer

I keep myself hidden from you

What I am you can not see

Unless your heart is open.

 

I dance in shadows

From the light cast

By a full moon.

 

I know you will never understand

What calls my heart to this dance

Of ancient times.

 

I can not deny that which

Is in my soul, even

If it drives you away.

 

I have dressed in my love

Of skyclad goddesses

And sun drenched gods.

 

I know you still love me

As I still love you,

Yet this is me, accept this.

 

I will still be here in this world

As I travel the other one

Blissfully dancing the mummer's dance.
