Kristy Lee wrote this… Mermaid - On water’s edge she pauses / Transcends all thought and form / In heavens arms she wavers / Before the brink of dawn This woman of the ocean / Who knows no thought but this / The cool, the clear, the sea foam / The rolling waves of bliss A moment in the moonlight / Spent gazing at the sky / Is cast away towards the deep / Where her sleeping sisters lie And in her wake / She leaves no trace / That you or I could find / A wave, a splash, a ripple / A silence in your mind go here to read more of her fabulous poetry.. http://www.redbubble.com/people/misskristy

A playful, colourful scene of a romantic, cozy, little moon-lit trattoria with my two notorious cats.
Just playing around with moon pix. AlienVistor wrote this poem (how cool!!) / ... At the edge of fright / I wait within / The moons fair glow / On ancient rock / Above bottomless pool / I listen for the cry / That never comes / And the fog rolls in / And darkness falls.

In modern English, the term ghost ship has come to stand for at least one of three separate definitions, all of which involving unexplained circumstances. Historically, the term has been used to refer to reported sightings of apparitions over water that have appeared in the form of maritime sailing ships, often after having previously been known to have sunk, or to derelict vessels found floating with no crew. In fiction, ghost ships have often been vessels crewed by some manner of spectral beings. Full Moons are traditionally associated with temporal insomnia, insanity and various magical phenomena such as lycanthropy. Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon. They find that studies are generally not consistent, with some showing a positive effect and others showing a negative effect (hence the terms lunacy and lunatic) Many neopagans hold a monthly ritual called an Esbat at each full moon, while some people practicing traditional Chinese religions prepare their ritual offerings to their ancestors and deities on every full and new moon

Painting by Dorina Costras / 47/100 cm / Oil and acrylic ...especialy for Barbara She is in love at this theme as I do!!! * / FEATURED WORK IN: / * / * / ** / Many thanks to Francis because he had the idea to add these wonderful lyrics. “La Lune Et Le Soleil” (The Moon And The Sun) from Charles Trenet (french singer)... The sun has a rendez-vous with the moon / But the moon isn’t there / And the sun is waiting for her The moon is there / The moon is there but the sun doesn’t see her / To find her it must be night / It must be night but the sun doesn’t know / And keeps on shining The sun has a rendez-vous with the moon / But the moon isn’t there / And the sun is waiting for her Hapiness is a fickle star / That runs to the call of many rendez-vous / It fades away and dies before us / When you think it’s far away / It’s there right next to you The sun has a rendez-vous with the moon / But the moon isn’t there / And the sun is waiting for her
Watercolor and pencil on illustration board, / 10×8 / 2009 Model: Adhara Batul One of the Greek myths I adore the most, for its incredible strength, poetry and significance, is the myth of Persephone. In Greek mythology, Persephone was the goddess of the underworld and of the Spring growth. Daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, she was abducted by Hades and taken to the land of the dead. By a determination of the Fates, she was forced to stay for two seasons each year after eating pomegranates seeds, thus becoming consort of Hades and queen of the underworld. This time I opted by depicting her sorrow and solitude after having the seeds, although there’s quite an air of resignation with her destiny.
