The Flicker of Her Appearance

(for: Luna, the Goddess of the Moon)
 
From the crest of my hills
I still notice
The flicker of her appearance
O, Luna! Luna!
My strange one
The awesome goddess
That makes her abode
Beyond the sky –

O, she comes
On the shy wings
Of the evening lightning
Bearing a retinue of eternal beauty –
A most awesome goddess!
Alas! fate fakes her face
In a brief exit –

Still I could discern
The flicker of her appearance –
& the maidens still await her entry 
Beyond my Niger caves
With hearts fervent for the fragrance
Of her morning dew.

Joseph Spence Sr July 9, 2010 at 1:20 PM Ah, Selene, the Goddess of the Moon, who comes out at night to visit her child. So golden is she in al her majesty. She has touched the hearts of lovers, calmed passions of fire, and flicked her flame of love on many. This is so sweet. Zeus and Apollo must be having a smiling treat. Great job! Joseph
