Walking the Hedge

Howling wind
And blowing snow
Silver as ice
Jasmine, nightshade
Silver as moonlight
And elderflower glow
She rides a pale horse
She is a pale horse
Wise winter owl on wing
A great dark hound
Dark like earth
A white sow in the shade of trees
Black and white badger
Raven in flight
Dark like blood
Prowling cat
She holds the key
To mystery
Black as ice
Lady of secrets
Keeper of memories
Black as night
Queen of witches
Sharpened knife
Grey as an unknown fate
Bleached bone
Blacked womb
Hallowed life
Hardened stone
Grey like icy cold slate
Sacred tomb
Find her at the crossroads
Pale like mists
Heart and soul in hand
Pale like death
Be prepared to pay
The price that she demands
