Valsa George Poet Free verse

A Royal Birth

the Sun in the west
smoldering with fire inside
afraid to explode, 
jumped into the waters below.

over this impetuous act 
the Day, in deep regret
snuffing all her grace,
flickered out.

under the cover of darkness
the aquamarine sky witnessed,
the birth of a crescent Moon, 
with angelic glow.

cradled high in the vast expanse,
with sailing seraphs for company
the little princess born, 
would soon be queen of the night sky!

to celebrate the royal birth,
innumerable lights were lit
in the firmament
like burning chandeliers.

the Earth was seen lying dazed,
by this astral illumination
wondering what drama
would yet unfold.

Speaks Volumes April 11, 2023 at 11:28 PM The beginning of a new moon right? A slender appearance of what was to become the queen of the sky when full. Did I read it wrong dear Valsa? Well right or wrong its what I read and its beautiful. Valsa George April 12, 2023 at 2:05 AM You are absolutely right dear Wendy. I have been trying to be a little different from my simple style. Thanks a lot.
