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 ~

superb ode to the lady of surreal..a beautiful brocade of words woven in pure silken verse.

This is such an ode Robin you have written... Each whisper will reach and embrace her. Very delightful. with a gasp of the Asian beauty.
