Isis, Egyptian Goddess of the Moon
Oh, Isis, wondrous goddess of the moon
Veiled mystery of life we all regard,
Draw neigh, majestic flow, your holy rune.
Our reach to higher spheres will not be barred.
Ancient ruler, queen of heaven and of earth,
Eternal powers, souls have often sought
To suckle from your breast, first day of birth
Harsh lessons from your laws of greatest worth.
Your venerated essence, long, has brought
Upon night winds, that haunting, captive tune
Of life's sweet song, the music has been taught,
Within your golden net, all souls are caught.
Majestic, lovely lady with festoon ~
Oh, Isis, wondrous goddess of the moon.
Abundant love, protector of all life,
Known healer and avenger of the dead,
Release the bonds of tension and of strife,
Cut loose all fear and dread with sharpened knife
That all may walk the higher path, where led
Though fraught with laden steps, a journey hard.
While sun beats down hot flames of crimson red
Your luminescence invites a welcome bed.
While games of life may deal one lucky card
Veiled mystery of life we all regard.
Great lady of the heavens and netherworld,
A deity into your arms, now, comes,
Dear infant lies within your womb, tight-curled;
Upon your new born crest a star is hurled.
From smiling lips a lullaby, now, hums.
Upon a sphere your lovely face will loom.
Soft echo pulses like a distant drum.
To heaven and all its glory, earth succumbs
As mother moon feeds from her silvery spoon.
Draw neigh majestic flow, your holy rune.
Out from the earth into the heavens will ring
In worship to creative powers, a song
That fills the air with happy lingering.
From pathway to the stars your child will bring
New hope for peace and love, a bright new dawn.
All truth and power from heaven will be jarred.
To earth, your awesome beauty will belong.
Your blessed light shall wash away all wrong.
Reveal your glory, though the struggle's hard,
Our reach to higher spheres will not be barred.
