The Light of Diana
The Light Of Diana
The darkness of the midnight sky
A blessing of the gracious gods of Olympus
The most holy Diana travels across the sky in a glittering chariot
The waning crescent moon, a slight sliver of Diana’s shield, shows her protecting bow
Keeping the innocent safe for the moment when Venus can bless their being
She keeps safe the hearts of women who do not wish to be loved
Her light keeps the spirited god Cupid at bay until the desire for love proves itself
As she travels lovers look up making wishes to her and they see her being
She leaves sparking jewels in her wake for those wishes are to be granted
Red and blue and white they twinkle in the blackness of nothingness
However, I, a mere mortal is the most grateful to the night’s dim light
It is by Diana’s light that I look at your flawless beauty
Watch you as you sleep with dreams that make you smile as no person can
She is the one who keeps your tears away while allowing mine to flow
When Diana travels far beyond the distant horizon and Apollo rises in the east
For a pair of fortnight I shall fade back into the world where you and I would never meet
I will fade back and wait until Diana once again shows her light
Until I can again see your beauty in her silvery light and I shall feel a love which cannot be returned
Such is the blessing and the curse of Diana and her magical light
