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!

An exquisite tangle of words left dripping in silken threads of ruby and gold....

That she was, and that she, and I wouldn't be surprised if it did. The love and adoration she inspires in so many of us, comes through beautifully in your tribute to the porcelain goddess. (Applauding!)
