Diana of the Moon, Goddess of my heart
you who are the other half of my being
I, your lost son, ask for your wisdom
by the light of your silvered face
grant to me the knowledge of your mysteries
so that I may be united with you
walking with you through the forests of life

with arms outstretched, I ask for your blessing
by light of star shine and cool wind of fall
protect me from those who would oppress
arm me with the arrows of your moonlight
so that I might shield those who are weak
and guide them to your bosom of life

speak to me in dreams Queen of heaven
inspire me to be more than I am
and fill my soul, earth-bound and lonely
with the comfort of your holy presence

Diana of the Moon, Goddess of my heart
let your glory fill me this holy night
make me one with your heaven
and shine through me to all who see

A great poem Sven. I love how it reads and love what it says.
Almost like a prayer this one is. Great job!

Yipee, Sven jumps on the graphic bandwagon  

Woo hoo, Sven shares yet another amazing poem      It's true, this reads like a prayer or sacred chant.

I truly do believe that you were born to be a poet, and, I also believe that you had to have existed in a past life in the renaissance era~

My library is going to thank me for this one  

Hugs,
Melissa
