Selene

Selene

A Poem by Gregory Stires

Selene

Thee pale skinned goddess,

She who is the moon personified,

Her eyes resembles moonlight,

Her hair black as the new moon,

Wearing a silver peplos,

Daughter of the Hyperion the Titan of light

And Thea the Titan of sight,

Sister of Helios

The Sun

And Eos

The Dawn,

Riding her chariot pulled by pure white horses

Across the night sky which she lights up

With her beautiful silver glow,

The women who watches over her love

Thee immortal Endymion who sleeps for eternity dreaming of holding the moon,

Selene the lovely lady of the moon

Who blesses us with its beauty and power,

She who is the all powerful moon personified,

I honor lady Selene great goddess of the moon

Who rides her silver chariot across the starlit night sky.

This is a beautiful tribute to a little-known Greek goddess! You write very lyrically, almost in the style of the ancient odes to deities. You've captured the formidable power of the goddess without losing any of the delicate, detailed imagery. My only quibble would be a quick note on spelling - you've written "thee" rather than "the" a couple of times, and you've also written "titian" rather than "Titan" when referring to Hyperion and Thea. Not to worry though, those can be quickly corrected! Other than that, this is a wonderful piece of writing!
