...and so I am wonderstruck
by the blood red moon
as it rises above the edge
of the world.
On this night Selene*
with chariot and horses of silver,
is pulling the moon across the sky.
On this night when dark witches
want her to die,
they draw their own blood
to work more powerful spells,
trying to draw Selene's spirit
unto themselves,
but the Goddess is wise
and with the flick
of a mystical rein,
turns the red to silver again,
and continues her journey
across the midnight sky.
*Selene: Greek Goddess of the Moon
