Morning Star

Morning Star
     with your first breath,
          wakeful 
               sunlit of dawn, 
                    a mystique flaming
                         fire arouse;
                    ablaze 
                is casting
          shadows 
     in the new
outlying
     mercurial fame
          horizon, immersed in
               waves
                    of balmy sunshine.

Venus is a very bright star; it is the only celestial body, besides the Moon, that is bright enough to cast a shadow on Earth. It had two different names in the ancient pagan world, as it was seen in the sky twice a day: when the sun came up in the morning, it was called Morning Star and when the sun set in the evening, it was called Evening Star

Wonderful imagery. Venus is a great subject, morning or night. I enjoy several of your excellent poems that invoke heavenly bodies. Did you know that under dark skies the Milky Way can cast a shadow as well? Best to you, Eve.
