Selene

You are the moon that reflects glow
From the warm sun;
Your image shines
Luminously

When twilight envelops the sky
You are the moon
That radiates;
A golden light

You’re the moon that symbolizes
Joie de vivre
Enthusiasm 
And love of life

Author notes

A simple tribute to moon2u:

She is the Luna, the Roman Goddess of the Moon;
Or Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon.


"Full Moon in Northern Dance" - by Thilo Bubeck

I used the pronoun YOU because it's not included in the given rules.

            Oh, no! Blessings to your Mom.
            Hope you find out about the fainting.
            Getting up too fast? Getting dizzy?
            Let her know others are thinking of her---
            from far away places!

    Splendid ending...
    this ties vital energy to her personality
    as well as playing nicely upon the imagery
    of moon and light. Blue

      PS- I couldn't put "e" in the word envelops cuz it's a transitive (or a passive) verb, which means "to enclose; to encircle; To wrap; to surround." Envelope is a noun. Envelopes=plural noun.

      I used the adverb "When" to mean (as a conjunction) "as soon as" ;"when" something is happening.

      Did you mean "enveloped?"

    Ah, Selene,
    another name
    to enhance
    our Moon-Queen.

    A perfect tribute, summer!

    love and hugs,
