Helios dies in sunset's glory;
...night descends upon the world,
Newborn stars illume the heavens,
...jewels of gods by night unfurled,
Seven Sisters seek Polaris,
...in calm of vespertine,
Whil'st Luna smiles upon her children,
...glowing opaltine,
Upon the earth, night's feral creatures,
...rise to heaven's light,
As setting sun and evening's wakening,
...herald welkin's night,
Upon the winds of eventide,
...adrift on heaven's floor,
A' sail upon new evening's sea,
...night's splendor evermore.

*sigh. I think I always start my replies to your poetry with a sigh.....because it's beautiful and unique. This is going in my library.

This is MY kind of poetry-oh, beautiful is an ordinary word - but it is.

Oh my...this is absolutely stunning! "Whil'st Luna smiles upon her children,
...glowing opaltine," --a beautiful vision here and a lovely read overall.

I'm running out of words to describe your poetry, so I'll just say enchanting.
