Heaven's Vault, Greek gods of the skies Options

[Eisa]

This one has been polished on another site, but I felt it was appropriate to post here, because it's full of Greek gods of the skies.      

Uranus ... Greek god of the heavens
Nyx …  Greek goddess of the night
Selene …  Greek goddess of the moon
Gaia ... Greek goddess of the earth
Helios …  Greek god of the sun


I have recently revised this again with a new title.


Heaven's Vault

Uranus’ heavens blaze with lustrous lights
when clouds abate. I marvel at the sight
of diamantes jewelling the skies;
as sentries watch with Nyx’ eternal eyes,
Selene outstretched illuming arms to guide
our footsteps through the dark. A slumbrous tide
embraces Gaia’s realm, while Nyx enshrouds
her sequined tapestry, with misted clouds.

When Nyx dispels her shadows I awake,
and Helios’ gold chariot now breaks
the dawn. His journey yields a fervid glow,
to scorch and thaw the glacial winter snow.
The horses gallop, leaving clouds behind;
diurnal skies are heated for mankind.

He journeys on as temperature declines,
then night’s bespangled wealth begins to shine.
Selene bestows her light for Nyx to stroke
the rhinestones that adorn her velvet cloak.





Black Velvet and Diamonds


I gazed towards a cloudless sky that night
and felt aglow, to see a vivid sight.
For night was sprinkled with bold winking eyes
as diamonds dazzled blackened velvet skies.
Selene stretched out her arms of light to guide,
diffused in darkness till the day. A tide
of slumber covered me in dreams of Nyx,
nocturnal goddess of Chaotic mix.


The night recedes with dreams and I awake,
when Helios rides his chariot to break
the dawn. This journey swells his fervid glow,
to scorch and thaw the glacial winter’s snow.
His horses gallop leaving clouds behind
and warms the azure sky for all mankind.


As day time ebbs, the fierce sun chills. I pine
for those nocturnal goddess jewels to shine.
Selene illuminates the dark, for Nyx to stroke
the diamonds scattered on her velvet cloak.
