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.
