You are the splendorous light
and I float on the otherside
You shine brilliantly furthermore
and I turn beautiful in my sight
Solis would you be credited alone
For I follow after you in silence
Within me is seen your magnificence
yet mellowed is my joyful presence
The orb of my dignified credence
This Luna's song altering every night
All the terra watches the brilliance
A dance of shadows and light
Yet upon the emptiness be filled
And in darkness a light be named
My signature marked in forever
by the rays of your eternal light
All the terra watches the brilliance
ReplyDeleteA dance of shadows and light - indeed!!! Nicely said.
Thank you Rajani. When I watch the night sky I'm always fascinated by celestial luminescence... the sun, the moon, the stars and the mysterious darkness
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is a serendipitous dance … one we depend on and delight in.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Penelope, thank you
DeleteThe sun, the moon, the masculine, the feminine .. the eternal dance.
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen
DeleteHow beautifully said! And I can relate it to Van Gogh's painting of the 'starry, starry night' – it's like another, independent view of the same scene.
ReplyDeleteYes Rosemary, the starry night the night sky inspired me this way. Thank you
DeleteThe stars are bright, Deep in the Heart of Texas! I remember one night when our older daughter, kindergarten age, was wearing her new first pair of glasses, and was walking wiith us. All of a sudden she exclaimed, Daddy, daddy, "I can see the man in the moon!" Most of the time we take the stars and the plannets and the moon for granted most of the time. Not when we write or read about them or are brought to our attention.
ReplyDeleteChildren have a way of finding wonder in everything, and thank you for sharing
DeleteI didn't know the Spanish word for sun. I like it better than plain Sol or sun. Your poem is a love song to the sun and moon.
ReplyDeleteYes even I found those words beautiful..befitting a poem, thank you Debi
