Dark Daughter

Dark Daughter, in making the statues of yours, In sculpting you, Drawing sculptures and figurines, You ask the Divine Deity To bless me So that I may accomplish it In the dark, Working under the lamplight, Sketching and drawing you, Carving and chiseling Out of clay, stone or wood. Dark daughter, What it is dark will remain, Unto the end And the mystery We cannot resolve it, Unravel it, The mystery of Creation, Life and death, Your living, mine living All under purview, Scrutiny and annotation. Dark daughter, you ask the presiding Goddess To be kind enough to endow with The bounties of Hers, So that I may raise the statues In Her design, Chiselling and carving And painting black, Dark the Goddess Kali, Dark you, Dark the Creation, Dark daughter, Nocturnal and supernatural and artistic.
