Jewel of the Night

She is a facet of the night gem
A spark, nestled in silky dark
One velvet petal
from the millennial lotus

Exceptional that you see her at all
An infinitesimal fragment of the whole
She snares your glance
You can not look away

Dazzled, absorbed, entranced
Until you are cut free, gasping
You can not name your terror

What caressed your core,
Spurred your soul to flight?

The Jewel of the Night.
