The light
that obscured
the falling
leaves of autumn,
has become
the guiding light of winter nights
Laying
beside the stars
and the soft
lights of home,
they become
a part of my soul
reflected in the darkness
and in my eyes
as I grow moon shaped
Light is
everlasting
and exudes a
much needed calm
always
carrying a hope
or a wish
of mine
to burn
within
released
into the air like smoke.
Hi everyone and welcome to December - I can't believe how fast the year has gone! (maybe that's a consequence of getting old!)
I hope you enjoy 'Selene' - she is the goddess of the moon in Greek Mythology. I don't write much poetry anymore, I seem to want to expand on my ideas and writing to make a longer prose/flash fiction piece so I am happy to be returning to poetry and its purity. I think this is a beautiful poem with a lovely atmosphere and as always with my writing has a element of the seasons throughout.
This poem also has a personal significance and this is why I've shared it today, especially including the line 'as I grow moon shaped' ... me and Carl have done something bonkers... we've made a baby!! I've already had my first scan and the baby is lovely and healthy and already doesn't enjoy being poked! lol :)
It's a lovely surprise - and it definitely was a surprise, he/she wasn't planned. I'm due in June and my Mum is already making a baby blanket, she is so excited and I know she will be an amazing grandmother (she wants to be called Nan).
Hopefully 'Alchemy' should be getting some reviews soon! :) I'll keep you informed and also on the developments of the bump.
Happy Tuesday
