******* At 4am this morning I got back from walking, running and dancing beneath the light of the moon, along the shore in Darwin. It's a full moon tonight and though there was a cloudy sky, the light shone bright through the darkest cloud. Arriving back, I was filled with elation, almost as if all the trials I have I had to go through this past year and definitely this past week no longer mattered. I feel alive, So alive I had to write this poem before I went to sleep. Enjoy, and sorry for the anagram ******* Religious fervour. Holds little comparison. The presence of my Goddess. She brings only peace. Clear night. Clouds blown free. Converging. Scattering. Shining. Elation at first sight. One comparison: Goddess skybound; Goddess earthbound. Only one knows my love. The other is closer, Yet so far away. Her presence a comfort. Dark night, Strewn with stars. Daylight no contrast, To her silver light. Cool breeze. Salt spray. Low tide. Quiet sea. My Lady rising overhead. Full in her splendour. Glory in her light. I welcome my Goddess. Selene. “Oh Mist Lyre” my Goddess. Bound in an anagram. Hard to speak such a thing. Even to a goddess. Each a confidant. Each a hold on life. The light shining from each one. Makes me feel alive. Cloud covers her face, I run in the darkness. She shines bright again. Sudden joyful dancing Eyes shine with happiness. Illumination from on high. Grin firm on my face, As lightning splits the horizon. Cloudless rain burnished my legs, Horizontal shower on my neck. Running again. Free from all fear. Life is worth living. For Goddesses. For Love. And finally, For Me. Surrounding elation. Eyes wide with time. Doubts cast from my mind. My soul is at peace. My Goddess awaits. Selene, or another. Skybound or earthbound. Where they are, I’m home. ******* Beauty can be found in all places, even within the darkness of the soul. |

Your intro was charming and a free verse poem in itself: At 4am this morning I got back from walking, running and dancing beneath the light of the moon, along the shore in Darwin. It's a full moon tonight and though there was a cloudy sky, the light shone bright through the darkest cloud. (I'd put the word night at the end of that verse though, risking the cliche'.) Arriving back, I was filled with elation, almost as if all the trials I have I had to go through this past year and definitely this past week no longer mattered. I feel alive! So alive I had to write this poem before I went to sleep. Enjoy, and sorry for the anagram...  ? My daughter says I over-analyze.I argue. Y'either analyze or y'don't. There ain't no over in the under.  Enjoyed. |

Thankyou I love it.  I think it is very difficult to over analyze poetry, which is not to say it can't happen. But this isn't it. Many thanks btw what's the code for the worship smiley. It's cool |

I adore this... My Goddess. wonderful... I analyze everything...writing, people, feelings, people...you would be surprised how much you learn from watching and analyzing...but I suppose I am not saying anything that isn't already known. Ethernaut...love your writing and your thoughts. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Remembering running on the beach underneath a glowing Goddess moon...thank you, for sharing this. There is no way to match the sheer joy of a full moon night on the beach, sitting, walking or running. I'm homesick for my Pacific coastline, but this write soothes the angst. Thank you! BTW, it is a wonderful piece. |
