Nyx

a Prayer honoring Nyx Goddess of night.

Beautiful, black-eyed Nyx, cloaked in darkness,

older than old, daughter of misty Chaos,

mother of great and mighty spirits, I call to you.

Ever-present one, you live in the shadows;

we know you in the dusk, in the comfort of the night.

Broad-winged Nyx, you clasp the hand of bright Hemera

each eve and morn, you greet her with love and sorrow

for only in those moments may you embrace your child.

Goddess, awesome one, in your realm are we all

unblemished, in your realm do lovers’ promises

ring true, in your realm are all things possible,

if only until daybreak. Nyx, I honor you.

Without the differing beauty of the night, we would never appreciate the day. This poem for once recognises night time as not something to fear but to appreciate. Nice work.

I like all of your work but I wonder why I like this one most ;) I hope to read a prayer to Thanatos sometime too.
