Nyx's Garden

 

Stars at night

The evening high

The mist comes down

There is no sound

Only footfalls that are light

 

A sweet herbal note fills the air

The morning glory at full bloom

Beside it a familiar being looms

Nightshade waves from its stem

At a figure that they all knew

 

Primordial and ancient

One that Zues even fears

A being who created the darkness comes near

Beautiful and somber

A figure stands tall

 

A woman in her garden

A woman who knows all

From the roses

To the poppies

To the lilies far and near

 

All offerings to Nyx

All grow here
