Goddess Who Would Birth the Sun (with Hepcat61)
Disguising me on summer nights
I wear a mask made of the moon.
I'm tried by slumber that I walk
To wake from out its empty light.
Our house priests draw the sacred blade
The moment of your first reveal,
As vestige of the moon and night
Removed from flesh of children gods.
A mad existence follows me,
Its casket floats a length behind.
The floodgate mystifies the Nile
To inundate the altar red.
In us reborn both Geb and Nut
In choral voices, temple’s gate.
The Nile awaits all gods, all stars
Once wed to every other join.
The bottom of the river's flow
Is hid the zodiac of stars
On which its mask affixed each one,
And each eye recognizes me.
We played as follied days in peace,
We played as nights that shook the world,
As we now come to be as one,
To send forth Ra, to join their ranks.
I cannot hope to bear the weight,
To revel while despite the truth.
I dare not leave before I show
Upon a promise to the Sun.

this journeys past many centuries;
a poem is a drop in the river,
a grain in the desert -
what glory, to be a part of those...

Apologies for the delay, John, and my humble thanks for your comment that welcomed my first effort once my long hiatus was coming to a shaky tentative end with this collaboration that began about a month before the accident, and was completed with Geoffrey via our phones while I was in hospital during a lengthy rehab.

Why thank you so much for enjoying our efforts, Bushido. It seems ages since you've stopped by to visit, so this is special for me. :)

It's been a while, ran into a couple hiccups on my side of the screen, but I'm slowly getting back into poetry again. I hope to come out with some great poems for everyone to enjoy as well.

Sorry for the delay in my reply, darling one... I've been recovering slowly from a terrible accident that laid me low and has me struggling to recover.. Now that I'm back at home, and spending bits of time here, finding my way 'round what is for me a new and strange DUP, I'm grateful to be doing what I love - to write poetry. Your sweet words waiting for me means so much! Thank you so much, and I hope we'll see each other again soon. ~~Jadey xox

Ahhh, thank you SO much, my crowfly friend, it's wonderful to actually see you here, and for me to be here! It's been so long, I've been having to take a long time using baby steps to get used to being here (or anywhere for that matter). It's all so strange and seemingly new to me! But you are familiar and I always hear your voice when I read your lovely comments - thanks to my having my cell phone always charged and ready whenever I was able to have the energy to chat while in hospital. I hope you've been able to handle the horrendous temps there where you are, and I look forward to our next opportunity to chat! ~~Jadey xo

My dear Jade: this was such a gift for me. When you sent me your original lines, I let them sit for a long time, but when mine started to flow, the arrived all at once. And when it was assembled and complete, I could not have hoped for a better result. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ahh, Thomas cat, at long last here I am with a most grateful reply. I knew, once you gave it time, your seamless contribution would come through and would fit like a glove! It is I who is thanking you... AND, we did it while I was trying to get back home after all I had gone through (though being back home has its own many challenges as you know). ~~Jadey

Just looking at your large amount of poems of various genres, and reading the high quality, I'm in awe. You've got a brilliant talent for poetry, and I can only hope to reach your level.
I loved the part of wearing a mask made out of the moon.
Well done!

Many thanks, dear Luna (if I may), for honoring me with such words and for a place in your RL. Also for adding me to your Follows. I'm grateful that you have discovered my gallery and started to explore within its honeycomb walls. All the best in this new year.
