Amaterasu

Amaterasu

A view, through evening mist

 

is perhaps

the kindest time of day to look

at her and see

what might otherwise be more

than her beauty ..

Just add a touch of candlelight

to catch a glimpse

of transient perfection, indeed,

the rim around

her halo shines brightest when

I close my eyes

tightly to take, all her radiance in ..

i am japanese and of course i know who She is. for the ancient people, the sun was a life-giver, for without it their crops would fail. today, we also realised our star provides us psychological benefits. vitamin D is a key ingredient in happiness. so what to do when feeling blue after sunset? a candle serves as a substitue, and no wonder it is used in our religious rituals. appreciated your appreciation of my culture. strong writing too, look forward to the next one.

I enjoyed the poetry and you are welcome Neville.

Amaterasu, I had to look her up and found a sun goddess Neville. Her aim, to bring light to the world. You brought an ambience of sunset on a summer evening. The view of her through evening mist is quite beautiful, you wouldn’t be able to gaze on her brilliance earlier during the day, when her light dazzles most. I hope more readers will follow. This is lovely poetry and metaphorically romantic.
