Triple Goddess

Triple Goddess
(For the Lady Hecate)

My heart doth ever beat serene
Under midnight sky on fields of green

When mystic mistress Lady Moon
Spills Her splendor granting boon

Of encircling moonbeams weaving light
Banishing memories of daily fight

On pastoral trails in tune
Brightly pathways She doth illume

True as flaming arrow's flight
Across the ebony skies of night

Amidst celestial points of light
She spreads a banquet vision of delight

Finally freed of worried capture
I swear by the Mother I am enraptured

Rescued from my darkest dreaming
By her sublime and comely seeming

Consuming all this mortal pain,
Wash away all trace of blame

Embrace me with thy grace and ease
My very soul She doth appease

The rest of my life I will remain
Singing Her praise to the last refrain

To the Lady of the faces three
Gladly I pledge my love to Thee

Hello Eph

The triple Goddess represents the three stages of woman, the maiden, the mother and the crone. She is depicted as being at the crossroads. Thanks for reading, my friend. Always, Cat

Not a form I usually delight in

The language , the balance of the three in one...something here is delightful to me. it touches something I can't find words for ...damn it woman that's so annoying for me... I guess it's the goddess in me Seabhac

Dear Cat... I have been away and have returned and have been catching up with things slowly... but oh what have I missed of yours? If this is just a teaser and taster of what lies further down your list of poems then I have missed so very much... this for me is absoultely A W E Some! In fact I love it... so much so that you had me worshiping the very moon, dancing upon the moonrays of the night drifting amongst the havest time pastures and running freely with the moon stired winds that she grants with every rise and fall of her breath.... the rhythm of this poem is divine indeed and flow so smooth you could ice skate on the dazzling argent moonglow. Love the theme and reminds me of Nascarpus, the moon poem I wrote on here so full of mythology and omnispirit that it surrounds and encompasses you in to believing that moon is an eye watching over you, each step of your life is potlighted and watched by the celestrial body. Maginificnet feeling in this one Cat and I can see why that magazine snapped it up... i would as well... so moon goddess Cat...as of me what you will... as I will do your bidding for forever and a day... enchanting indeed! Dale :)

Dear Cat,

I enjoyed reading this. Beautiful imagery, and it rhymes quite effortlessly. You can be very proud of this one, especially as it is a rhyming poem, and you once said you were struggling with rhyme. Not here, my dear :) Yours, ~Nina

Dear Nina

Thank you so much for noticing the rhyming! Rhyme is my biggest trouble when writing poetry. But this one just didn't flow when pushed into the skin of free verse. I'm so glad you liked it. Always, Cat
