She drowns under
the weight of mistakes,
consequences
Whispers a prayer to Selene,
Mover of tides
Keeper of rhythms
Prostrates herself
before her Queen
She knew the pain of lovers
She prays
to awaken
from nightmarish dreams
Please release
the threads
thin, but binding
Endymion sleeps
She sinks,
a penny in a wishing well.

I cannot recall ever hearing Sisters of the Moon before. It sure made a nice addition to your presentation here, with bother your poem and the song being so dark and foreboding.
really a great closing line...the penny in the wishing well...and our mistakes, we def can drown in those choices...
I just watched Gypsy 83 this morning and was wishing I could go to A Night of 1,000 Stevies - and then I see this. We are sometimes so connected it's spooky. I always know you're looking up at the same Moons.
She sinks,
a penny in a wishing well.
So sad, but beautifully poetic...
One of my favorites, truly love this.
The closing ... brilliant
wow..the close is fantastic... and how sad that once the threads are cut, the only way seems to be down...sad
Love that ending too ~ Hope she can awaken from the nightmarish dreams ~ Lovely to see you LM ~
nicely done......nice ending indeed
...a penny in a wishing well.
wonderful, mi amiga
Saving one of the best poems 'till the end, perfect way to begin my Saturday morning! Stevie Nicks up there at the top of my favorite ladies list!
I love Fleetwood Mac
Wow this is incredible I love the mythological references as well. Endymion is one of my favorite myths

Touching and so beautifully done!
I was moved from the beginning and you cast magic with your end line!
Bravo-I loved it!
