O0o*o0O

Laying on earth under Her starlit heaven

Stood a lady wearing High Priestesses gown

Locks of black flowed down her lithe form

Morgana's cool gaze now as empty as foam.

In lyrical voice ancient whispers left lips,

Extinguished beauty with terrible meanings.

Her soul was once pure, and righteous, and just

But her soul mate's mistake filled it with ice,

So on this harsh night she sold all the rest.

High Priestesses power grew, her own love its price

No more would she smile, or cry, or grieve

Only hate will be left, vengeance and rage.

No gold will be seen in her eyes evermore

Only bloody red glare will fall upon life.

Eyes glazed over, while mind flew forward

It saw happiness there with no hint of her presence.

Saw a kind king, the warlock at his back

Queen by his side, laughing children around.

The peace in that land would last centuries long

Pendragons would rule over the land of Albion.

But Morgana knew how to change future she saw,

A curse must be cast on the queens wedding night.

In her former friend's heart a need would arise

Gwen's blood would call out to a knight, by name Lance.

Their minds would be clouded, urges released

King's heart will shatter, queen burns at the pyre.

Once and Never kingdom turns bloody, war filled

From peaceful to ravaged the world shall change.

Disease and hunger will travel Her fields

Magic will burn still, through all of king's land.

Desperate druids will swear loyalty oaths

Morgana and Mordred will bring fear to all hearts

No one spared in her quest for vengeance.

And while the witch planned the end of hope

The Goddess spilled tears for her daughter's madness

Her lands might turn red, and magic might end

But Merlin shall live and so will her teachings.

For all seers suffer that one final flaw

None can see the end of their own lifeline.

Rubies might yet gaze in triumph at future newly cast

But Goddess still knows and predicts it all.
