Aurora

Aurora

Aurora rises up
Astride her chariot
Aglow in dawn’s pink blush,
Aubergine cloak of stars,
Ageless – four winds’ mother –
Argent moon’s sweet sister
Announces Sol’s new day.

Thank you so much Valsa not only for your best wishes for the contest but for your delightful message! I enjoy writing in the Pleiades format but it is a challenge to get in everything I want to convey and be poetic at the same time - like getting the genie back into the bottle. The legend of Aurora has always been one of my favorites - even though I am more of a night person. I am hoping you will read my current blog. Sending you many blessings of dawn.

Ani, thank you my friend! Studied mythology many years ago in school. It was quite a belief system trying to make sense of, and explain, the world and life. Even though I am a night owl, the legend of Aurora has always fascinated me as she is seen through the lens of ageless beauty as daughter, wife, mother and sister in the context of family. So grateful for your visit and your best wishes. Sending you blessings and hugs!
