a workmate of mine once asked me to write something for her friend's birthday, so i did some research and came up with this
Name etched in myth,
Wide open spaces immured
Words passed along the line
Questions and data simultaneous
Derivative of Latin "caelum",
Heaven and celestial colliding
Several forms, forename
Blending of cultural nomenclature, Hellenic and Gallic.
Nicolaos of Patara, silently gifting
One of three daughters requiring assistance
Dowry of incense, tossed down the chimney,
Kindling the lore of Saint Nick
Pushing the adiabatic equilibrium into the snow,
Wintry deity, in the year of Christ's birth,
One of three new gods marking the Age of Lore
Main source of power relinquished,
Magical hold on surrounding areas lost,
Power was for a time weakened yet
They still remained a force,
Writing their own history
Healing their wounds.
Transformed into gods themselves.
Not in the branches, nor in the soil-buried roots,
Evolving into something in-between.
The white, of the arts and the valiant,
Sharing their knowledge and areas to protect.
Enormous Room reference,
Not the Delectable Mountains,
Harlotry motif,
The quartet demonstrating a determination
To live in the midst of hardship
Bodies defeated yet refusing to surrender the soul
Lina Inverse of the darker legends,
Jet black strands, germane,
Violet in her eyes
An oddity, poured over like an exotic book,
Unasked questions pressing, compressing into the flat
At times so frozen she was a statue carved of ice.
Hands fluttering around her like falling feathers.
One of seven mythological
Offspring of Atlas,
Transformed by Zeus into
The stars of the Pleiades constellation.
Greek mythological ancient deity,
Daughter of Hyperion and Theia,
Eventually supplanted by Artemis
Sister of Helios
Loved the handsome shepherd Endymion,
Who was granted eternal life in sleep,
Visiting him every night,
Fifty offspring resulting.
Trio of daughters with Zeus also.
Prophets of Allah,
Shown in Our'an and the Bible,
Nurturers of their communities,
Even though they have faults.
The only natural satellite
Arid as the Sahara,
Receiving only solar-reflected light
Phases every 28 days
Representing our 'shadow self',
Changeable moods and feelings,
Anima, subconscious,
So says Jung
Nurturing, receptive, instinctual,
Domestic, sensitive, changeable
Insecure, moody, sensitive
Cycles, contrasts of state
Artistically depicted, pale face,
Riding a silver chariot pulled by two horses.
Wearing robes and a half moon on her head,
Carrying a torch.
Waits for brother Helios
To finish his journey across the sky
Before beginning hers as night falls upon the earth.
Hope, romance,
Achievement, wonder, mysticism,
Collective spiritual intuition.
Fearlessly alive,
Demonstrating a sheer determination to live,
She is a kinesis, she is action personified.
Refusal to allow her spirit to be broken.
In cabinot, sealing the cracks
To avoid confrontation,
Waiting to see the results.
Angel in clouds of smoke,
Standing triumphantly and colossally young.
