Holy, unholy - was neither :
as Elderberries on bushes,
to never turn your back must
but in prayer back away,
to receive their blessings is.
Its woods may never enter
a house for its spirits
would roam and lurch then
as a child would see it,
be strangled by its claws
Many tales have been spun
as ancient myths are
as Naamah to snatch souls
or Lamashtu devour it,
or Lilith to rebirth them.
Feared throughout history,
but beauty in them is :
Ah, I have laid with them
as lovers we once were,
in our memoirs dwelth.
