The Muse's Womb

Missing image

Ages swirl in her ethereal crystal ball
as she seduces time's very pulse
till what her spirit conjures by visionary spell
overflows into mortal reality.

Sitting upon the stars,
silently stroking each soul thoughts,
allowing her essence to project from her eternal sphere.

Second by second her love transcends
the illusions crafted in her everlasting crystalline bauble,
letting minds presume they having breath without her power.

Tolerating the shadows that form over history
which bring such terrible darkness and travail
that the gold of hearts  would be forged from evil's dross.

Never granting to seep into any brain
that awareness of a fateful date with destiny,
when the last gold is minted
and she materializes a new planet in her orb,
giving birth again from her immortal womb
another race of consciousness
to ascend creativity's illuminating staircase.

Leaving behind a shell of flesh and soil
wandering a future unclear
where without the muse's constant attention
the scales of fortune can tip
in the direction of depravity or enlightenment.

    "Second by second her love transcends the illusions crafted in her everlasting crystalline bauble, letting minds presume they having breath without her power." The Goddess reigns.

    Thank you for your contest submission as well as for following the rules. WOW such depth and a wonderful use of vocabulary including some words that I love hehe and rarely see ( like dross, almost archaic there and so befitting in this piece). A wonderful rendering from the picture that speaks not just poetically but socially, well done! Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors. Hetohke'e

    "Second by second her love transcends
    the illusions crafted in her everlasting crystalline bauble," - love that (among many other parts in here)!

    Excelletn and so very true! There is so much around us that tries to tip our minds into depravity I think rather than enlightenment.
    All the best to you

      Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. Actually, I think there will most likely be a lottery for this. Winner though might end up getting the depravity part.
