Upon a night of a luminous moon, a fragile tale was spun.

There was a woman as cheerful and brilliant as the sun.

There was a demon, inspiring and terrifying, to all but one.

He was her sworn protector, an accidental deed done.

.

An act which drew regret but was quickly banished ,

By the effervescent woman-child who had vanished-

To hide behind the curtains of green and a staunch will,

To glare unyieldingly back at the youkai's rumbling trill.

.

"Leave me be," was both her command and plea.

A disdainful gaze wasted on a girl who cared not to see.

The stench of blood rent the air as a miko was lost to the day,

Thwarting a vicious attack that was sent a youkai's way.

.

All summer long, she had gingerly healed,

Under the keen eyed care and until all ills were repealed

A sidling child who helped hasten her to health,

Offering in abundance-laughter and flowers- her only wealth.

.

Perhaps all will be well, thought she one ebony night,

In contemplation of her now satisfactory plight.

She cared for this utterly rambunctious, mismatched pack,

And also perhaps their leader, the youkai who guarded her back.

I'm not very sure of what to make of it myself. I'm translating very ambiguous ideas into words.

As always, do let me know your thoughts, ideas and opinions on this piece.
