Moon Dance

 

  

Play, oh Sarasvati, music divine,

while we dance in the light of the moon;

as spirits ascend from mortal dreams,

singing sweet sounds of her mystical tune. 

 

Night's Titan Goddess halts her chariot,

glittering steeds are harnessed in blue;

her immortal head brightens the sky,

as ceremonial ballets ensue. 

 

Alas, Selene cries out for her lover

"awake my Prince Endymion, soon!",

while worshiping souls dance for her love;

oh fair Goddess of the magical moon.

[Mysteral - Night Prowle..]

I love this poem, Greek mythology of Selene and Prince Endymion. You have composed a superb image, but it appears you have linked in a little Hindu mythology also? I think that's wonderful...
>Play oh Sarasvati, music divine,
Many thanks for the chance to read and review. I think this is excellent writing but then, yours always is.

I LOVE the rhythmical pattern of this poem... It seems you're dancing with words! Wonderful!

By the way: thank you for your review...I guess guilt will always belong to human nature...so will obsessions...

Lovely Dani... Romance and sensuality beckon to our spirits beyond mortal dreams. A mystical tune calls out for her lover in an enchanting ceremony of love.

So enticing and timeless... Photo transcendental...

Oh, that magical moon!

I am a great lover of mythology and so I appreciate this piece very much, the moon Goddess in love with the shepard boy, in Greek Mythology, this could have many interpretations, I won't even go there.

Oh, I am seriously liking this poem, Dani!

It is different for you and I tremendously respect your willingness to experiment and build upon your already inherent talent.

Again, I love this one so much~ It breathes new life into the tired old mythology and gives them new perspectives and raison d' etre! I usually cannot see the art work at work so this is a doubly fine review! The poetry makes the painting speak so blissfully. I also love how you mix the mythologies up perfectly! Beautifully done!!!

Ok, get all greek on me. Nice one, love. *hug* Write on! =0)

This is beautiful Dani and it seems that I have seen a contest running that this would be wonderful to enter. I hope that you are well. I don't get to drop in and visit as often as I would like.

Blessings,

WOOHOO!!!! Dani, this is superbly written. I LOVE it. So sweet and fairy-tale-ish, LOL. Short and sweet, yet the rhyming is wonderfully arranged. Ahhh, mythology and astrology. Such divine studies are they, and you have out done yourself again!

Absolutely breathtaking.
