Selene

mytho evolution

 

Amaterasu whispered to the night
as a blue world spun under a full moon

a ballerina on a highwire

dancing to quantum music

her gilded box of paradox 

in a tesseract dreamscape

a goddess is borne

secret sutras pour from jade eyes 

as she dips her brush into the light

indigo tendrils climb to the stars

as she spills hope into a wishing well

she calls her wolf to her side  

and scrys the depths of his eyes 

horse nuzzles her hand

" it is time , we must go "

they gallop bareback through the storm

to the edge of humanity

her heart laced in the language of gods 

she slips from her kimono

a brocade of glimmering Koi 

and she curls into the moon  

shimmering reflections upon a black sea

a butterfly in silk

a dove in rhythm

a living haiga 

in a surreal world ~

The Surreal Queen steeped in origins. Beautiful!

Creative, classy ode to Selene. Your imagery is sharp and well defined.

[RainQueen]

Ahhh...Your words alone are a gorgeous sinkingdown. Lush, perfect. The fact that we've read this goddess, know her words and the bits of soul she shares - Makes this a shining jewel.

You honored one who deserves it in the medium that is her well-loved home. You used her own brushes to paint a true portrait of her. Simply lovely.

Robin, this was exceedingly good, try as I may I cannot fault it.

'and she curls into the moon

a lovely tribute poem capturing Selenes world in all its beauty. writerscafe would be far less of a site without her, we are very lucky that she writes here. loved the surreal quality to this :)

[Wildfleour]

An exquisite muse deserves such a poem of tender beauty. You have crafted an ode to Selene of such a caliber.

[Lilly Negoi]

this is one splendid tribute Robin...and considering the qualities of the addressee, it's a well-worth one :). you painted her with an excellent precision and skill!

Exquisite words for an exquisite goddess
