the
Coming of Lilith

I was alone in the Darkness
And I grew hungry.
I was alone in the Darkness
And I grew cold.
I was alone in the Darkness
And I cried.

Then there came to me
a sweet voice,
a honey voice
Words of succor
Words of surcease.

A woman, dark and
lovely,
with eyes that
pierced the
Darkness
came to
me.
