ISIS IS
From Sept ember of
Her star she came
Of herSelf and
Sothis finger
of
Her Hand
writes
And Lights
the
Way...
Keep
Shining my angels
My children, my Lights
Keep sowing and growing
And glowing in Sight
Keep going, keep flowing
Through darkness and blight
Keep knowing and showing
On, on through the Night
Dance on through
the Dawning
Of Wings on
the Morning
And in through the Ark
Where nothing's divided
For nothing is Dark
At the Oasis
Omphalos
of
My
Heart
Dance on through
Our Eyes
And into the skies
In Celestial Chairs
By Gateways
On Stairs
Here
( Hear what I say! )
Where My Temple
Was Never a Tomb
to
Dance with the Angels
And Sing with the Stars...
Now rest in the Cradle
Then when you are able
New Life to assume
Comeback
to
My
Womb

After everything I have experienced with Goddess Isis I can't even begin to find words to say about this piece. It's very powerful and deep.
-
Thank you, Char!
Glad you appreciated it
-
Profound
WOW! This is a very meaningful poem that needs to be read atleast twice to be understood completely and enjoyed all the more. I like the soothing, magical and tranquil feel of this poem other than the rhyme and flow. It made me feel very refreshed and relaxed, and, protected as well. The layout and picture of Isis are both very pretty. I LOVE the background. Its like a zillion ice crystals glued to a velvet robe the heaven proudly wears tonight. How incredible it would be to take birth from the womb of a Goddess! WOW
May you be Isis blessed,
Char

what a beautiful offering...she must be proud

amazing and magickal
WOW! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW I am BLOWN AWAY by this magnificent tribute to a magnificent Goddess. (does the happy dance) And you know your stuff, too, yeah! This totally rocks my socks! Best of luck to you in my contest with this truly outstanding piece of work, this beautiful chant, this poetic masterpiece! -
Thank you for your wonderful comment, artistinside!
Ah, the 'here' & 'Hear' are meant to emphasise the point & place, i.e. right 'here', right now, and 'listen':
Here
(Hear what I say!)
Where My Temple
Was NEVER a Tomb
The 'Temple' -- the Spirit within, the 'Holy of Holies', the 'King's Chamber'.
Alluding to the fact that the Great Pyramid was never a 'tomb' but an esoteric record in stone and place of Sacred Initiation for spiritual Masters.

One aspect of poetry that catches my mouth and ears instantly is the flow and rhythm to it, and this poem is almost perfect in both areas, which is a lot to say! It just makes me want to read and reread this poem. It is so lovely. I also like how it's shaped; there's something about it that adds to the fluidity of it. The only thing really is that you wrote "here" instead of "hear." I will also note that my two favorite lines are: "And in through the Ark/Where nothing's divided." I don't know quite what it is, but the idea of everything coming together in one place is very magical to me.
Amazing work.
-
Thanks, actually it does rhyme.. all the way through..e.g.
Dance on through
Our Eyes
And into the skies
In Celestial Chairs
By Gateways
On Stairs

And into the skies
In Celestial Chairs

-
beautiful poem, good job
-
Thank you, sister soul!
Yep, She was THE original, that all the others are based on. Awomen to that, eh!

-
Yeah, now THIS I liked very very much!
Honestly, this was as lovely as the background you selected to present it in, and the ending was both haunting and utterly divine. And yeah, like Ana, I am pagan as well, lol, so this was rather special to me heart and I applaude you for being able to write something this worthy to such a worthy goddess...lol.
-
Beautifully inspired work right here. I just seem to grow more and more appreciative of your writing with every new piece that I read. This captivated me... and maybe there's a little bias there because I'm pagan and can appreciate the subject matter here... or maybe it's just because you have talent. Either way, good job.
-
WOw! This poem is seriously unique and very well written! I loved the way you wrote it and the imagery was excellent. It had me reading on to see whats next haha. Awesome job and well worth the read
-
Thank you for your wonderful comments and applause, Sharron!
Actually, though it is highly probable we have been visited by beings from the stars, the adepts of ancient times gained their knowledge by astral travel. The ancient Sumerian story of Gilgamesh illustrates that very vividly. He described how the Earth looked from space!

How did they know about the Invisible One back then?
My new old friend
If you recall the ancient Hieroglyphics upon the walls
They sketched men with space helmets and in flying ships.
That seem to represent in today how we travel into outer space.
Could it be that Egypt today and yesterday is a secret doorway?
To the connection to the stars in the far off galaxies.
That reside in us you him and we.
-
Thank you, Sharron! Love your tribute piece!
"As a double star within my eyes". Yes! Sirius A & B, the binary star, represented Isis and Osiris. Later associated with stars in Orion.
(Hmmm, how did they know about the invisible One back then )

I am inspired by Egyptian Mythology Truth and Beauty. Your artistic skills draw me deeper and deeper into your imagers and prophetic lyrical poetry. I feel as if I am right there in Ancient Egypt dancing with you down the Nile. . Ancient stories described Isis as having great magical skill. Her personality was believed to resemble that of Athor, or Hathor, the goddess of love and gaiety. How lovely to be reborn in the womb of Isis rising.
Isis Rising
As a double star within my eyes
O symbol of Isis in thy heavens
My beloved our beginning dancing down the Nile
O our soul dwelt in the star Orion,
Freedom by means of might and hymns of magical vapours
Darkness rolling by means of thy mighty sword
Gifts within the Nile choir of power.
Light-giver who resides in every season of the year
O mighty earth-goddess embracer within lands of fertility
By thy waters she and we giver of life in fields born anew

Thank you kind sir! It is wonderful to receive such a comment from a person with knowledge and appreciation of myths and mystery religions.

Isis indeed, IS - and few have put it as succinctly, as profoundly, as elegantly as thIS
One of the things that I love about the mysteries of Demeter at Eleusis were their incredible parallels with the Mysteries of Isis.
May your omphalos be forever begemmed. -
Thank you, Daoine I'm not familiar with that, thanks for the reference, I will certainly look it up.

Powerful
It makes me think of Robert Graves, The White Goddess.
It dances among the stars and sings her praises..very
powerful.

Thank you, dark search. Now I think you will definitely like 'Called...(Out of Egypt)'...
~ G

This reminds me of a vision i had just after i opened my eyes to see my soul....it is a strange thing...hard to explain...though i can draw it easy enough...but alas you cant see my drawing here.....so i will try a short explaination.....i saw the heart/source/god....it moved/worked exactly like we do on a metaphysical level....the river of life flowed from both it's sides....and at the centre of it was a door...for the souls to walk back through along their journey...thats the short vision anyways....this was an insightful write...great work

Thank you. Yes, now I think about it...I'm surprised you missed it too.
~ G
-
I'm surprised I havent seen this one before. I must say it is beautiful
-
Wonderful
Very complex and unusual; magical as Brida said. It is dynamic, with much motion and vigor. The internal rhymes draw me onward through the poem. I take from it a message of encouragement and hope. -
Thank you Mari! This was one of those, from the depths of the soul, that virtually write themselves. I've always loved the ancient mystery religions, the Mother Goddess archetypes are deeply imprinted. Your perception of the "magical" essence of it is very appropriate - symbolism resonates in the collective unconscious.
Love & Light,

I loved the text and the form! It sounds magical somehow, and the words come very firmly out of this poem!
An excellent read!

Just beautiful!
This had perfect meter and flow to it and unperdictable rhyming scheme which is so often misused yet was played with perfect syncopation here.
You have an amazing talent for wording and imagery- some of it extremely unsusual and very refreshing.
Can't wait to read more.
All the best,
Nate...
