Night Clashes with Light

Night dressed in  a cloak of velvet black

distant  dreams between heaven and earth

mystical stories woven fabrics of life giving birth

silver stars dance,  two light hearted fools on track

Captain Pat at the helm under a crescent moon

Truedessa  playing her drum, chanting songs

spotted cat curled at her side, where he belongs

somewhere, a golden lute plays a magical tune

A hunter, Orion takes form in the constellations

waves of emotions fills the green foaming seas

signaling upcoming danger for the traveling three

Truedessa senses some unusual vibrations

From beneath, dark murky waters start to churn

Captain Pat bellowing "hang on we're in for a ride"

Truedessa  and the cat quickly stand by his side

ship whirls, sudden tremor causing concern

entering another realm ominous under world

two dark hideous eyes,  a giant scorpion king

thrashing through water,  a beast who can sting

reddish brown skin, poisonous venom is hurled

Trio on guard, steely blades in their hands

Truedessa shouts  "who summons us to this place"

goddess of dawn, cries dressed in white lace

prisoner of  Hades, stealing light from the lands

Beware of the stinger as the scorpion spins

Captain Pat and the cat under a brutal attack

Truedessa slams her sword into the beast back

we will win this battle before a new day begins

a jolt, Truedessa cries, Captain Pat feels her sting

spotted cat quickly jumps standing by  her side

Hades laughs, soon there will be no place to hide

Suddenly, an arrow pierces the beast with a zing

rolling waters, orbs of twinkling light fill the sea

Orion, hunter of the sky dives into the depth below
Captain Pat declares, hurry this place is going to blow

this time the scorpion will not win,. Hades quickly flees

on their sunken ship , roaring volcano ready to bust

Captain Pat at the helm the trio form a strong ring

the goddess of dawn slowly  rises and begins to sing

they shoot from the sea, in a haze of volcanic dust

emerging to the surface,  steadying their rocking ship

flickering over the horizon, dawns yellow orange rays

goddess of light,  two light hearted fools in a daze

Orion resting in the sky, they continue their trip

Mystical night, a new dawn but, will they find Bora Bay???
