Lilith


First there was LILITH
  Fearless and free
  an exiled princess
  to the world without humanity
  Far from heaven.
 
  He said I came to prevent you
  admiringly
  first time
  and the first angel to sin like Lilith
  Leaning forward, perhaps.
 
  She didn't care
  Laughed out loud saying no
  glanced at the tall trees whose leaves were unknown
  on a silver tide and its stretching moonlight
  as She stares at the quiet shore.
 
                                                             for women who live with true love
