The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Tolkien - The One Ring

Hail all kindreds of night and shadow! This is my first visit, and already I am enchanted and spellbound. I write poetry as well (by the way, Anduiel's rendition of twilit children is awesome, and right on!) May I share a poem I wrote awhile back? It was inspired by a dream I had and is the essence of my "dark of night" personna.

SHE WHO FLIES

She who flies the dark of of the night,
Upon winged withers of silvery white-
Caresses the skies in the vast expanse,
She beckons the stars to join in her dance.

Still other times she rides by the light
Of the Moon, arms reaching to endless heights-
Shrouded she soars in the clouds' soft billow,
Upon a besom of sacred willow.

In the twilight she folds into veiling embrace,
The jeweled stars of Goddess adorning her face-
Fly, my child, as the wind whips thy cloak,
The echoes of sweet song thy voice will evoke.

In careless abandon, the wise one, she glides,
As one with the night, in dim glow she hides-
The first rays of sunlight her flight will adjourn,
When day falls to shadow, it bids her return.

Galadwen I love the way you put words to your vision. I too write poetry some. I love especially to write about the twilight and moon. If you ever want to read any just pop over to the Scriptorium and look for my poetry thread. I havent written anything for a few months now but have been feeling like the writing itch is coming back...... now if I could just find where my muse is hiding out, then I could do some serious writing.

Welcome to the guild hon!!!

The moon is coming around towards the next full moon. I so long to dance and be lost in her beauty and light! My life is in turmoil right now and I need the peace that she offers to me. I weep to be in her arms, craddled as a young child soothed by its mother.

Vana, I too am looking at the end of warm weather and the chance to dance under the Lady's light. It kind of blends with the End-of-Summer blehs. However I have something that might perk you back up a bit.

There will be a total lunar eclipse for the Western US and FAR Eastern Asia. The best places to see it will be the Pacific Rim, Aleutians, West US coast. Here's alink to a site with info about times.

Enjoy.

Smooth sails and happy trails,

Yes I am very excited about that. I will be getting up at 2 am to see this wonderous site and it will be the best time to dance as well.

Thank you sweetie!! I knew you could make me feel better. That's what big brothers are for isnt it? :hug:

Ah the full moon, this month of October in the year 2007, was the largest full moon of the year.

I loved it!! the skies had been all cloudy and rainy for days but cleared the afternoon before the full moon so that I had a spectacular view of the full moon when it rose in the sky and all evening!!!

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:47 pm

Twas and still is very purty.

Something I wrote recently!

Do you fear the faery world
or do you seek its face
if you don't like nature
then you wont be embraced

for nature seeks her children
no matter where they are
watching ever clearly
underneath the stars

Do you see the wonder
there in the twilight
not seen by others but
brought within your sight

Some say faeries are evil
but I don't buy that line
for I know they have magic
and live in twilight time

seek the ones you believe in
hide not your face
for they are dancing still
within this forest place

come now and join us
dance within the faery ring
let loose your inhibitions
and let your heart now sing

I've got no poetry but I did want to pop in and say hi!

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 8:37 pm

HI hon!!

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 9:32 pm

Imagine my surprise when I see the Twilight Guide is back at the top of the thread postings! Hi people! :hihi:

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 3:04 pm

Well, keep coming back and we can get it revived again and flowing with the magic of the twilight!!

I just couldn't see me being the only one posting in here so I just kept an eye on the thread. I think they would get me for spamming if I just kept it to the top by responding to myself.

But I have never gone away, I am always here!!

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:11 pm

Funny Vana, I'm always here too.

by **Vanaladiel** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:24 am

Well then, we need to come in here more often and keep the thread alive and active!! :hug:

Did you get to see the full moon this week?? My beloved took me dancing beneath the full moon!! It was cold but the sky was clear and the moon was bright!! I love dancing like that.

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 5:55 pm

I think it might have been cloudy the night it was full, but I did get to see it gibbous. Soooo pretty! Plus, the night a saw it, Mars was right beside it. Twas pretty cool. :happydance:

by **Vanaladiel** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:37 pm

When Mars is near the moon it is always an awesome site!!

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 10:32 am

So apparently in the early morning you can see Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and one other heavenly body. I would love see that but, I'm in college, I don't want to get up that early. Hope some of y'all are able to see them though!

by **Vanaladiel** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:18 pm

I probably wont since I am trying to catch up on some much overdue sleep.

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:19 pm

Did anyone else get to enjoy the Lunar Eclipse tonight?? It started before I got off work and just about the time I left the building it went into the total eclipse. It was so cool. I guess the next total lunar eclipse wont be till Dec 2010.

I might have to see if my muse is up to writing something cool about it. :hug:

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:03 pm

Fortunate you Vana, it was cloudy last night and storms started rolling in so I couldn't see it.

great sadness I was and still am quite dissappointed

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:38 pm

I am sorry you didn't get to see it hon. It was awesome to see.

by **Hidden_Ring** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:27 am

A bit late for this, but I did get to see the lunar eclipse a bit. Although I must say that the efforts to get a picture of it were met with less than success. Now truth be known, I was trying to take the picture with a cell camera. Not the best of tools to do this with, admittedly.

But I am delighted to say that the weather is turning fair and this means moonlight dancing. Although I have a new issue. As i am moving soon into the Pittsburgh area, I am losing walking access to my current dancing field. But since it is recently plowed, It's not so fit for dancing. But I'll have to find some green spaces near where I am moving to so I can still enjoy the moonlight. Or I make a trip to the boonies on night near the full.

Moving can be such a pain,

Good luck on your move sweetie and on finding a new dancing area. Though being in the city might make it a bit hard to do it skyclad.

The last full moon the rain came in so, I was unable to enjoy the opportunity to dance beneath it, but now that I am doing much better, it will be the next full moon that, come rain or shine, I will be dancing outside!

We need a little dancing smilie!!!

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 7:47 pm

I thought this one was the dancing smilie :happydance:

by **Vanaladiel** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:09 am

OOps it is!! :oops:

I was thinking one with a gown that flowed across like some of the other ones that other folks have. :doh:

I knew that was the dancing smilie. See I have been out of it since my surgery!!! :woah:

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 9:48 pm

Well banging your head up against a wall ain't gonna help.

by **Vanaladiel** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:02 am

LOL I know it was just the way I was thinking at the time!! :hug:

by **Hidden_Ring** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 9:47 pm

Even in the boonies, where I live now, I don't go skyclad. Kilt-clad, yes, usually with a sleeveless undershirt on and my black, knee-high moccasins. That would be acceptable in a municipal park. Although some places might have issue with a half-dressed person dancing in the middle of the night... hmm I'm not overly loud. Point in fact, I'm fairly quiet when I'm out dancing.

Smooth sails and happy trails

As am I my friend!! Who wants to attract unwanted attention when one is busy dancing beneath the moon? I love the idea of you in a kilt!! I love it when my man, Guru wears his!!

I do hope you find a great place to dance once you move!!

by **Illyria_Orthriel** » Thu May 08, 2008 10:20 pm

Ya know, it totally sucks when life comes in to smack you in the face. Not talking to a friend in months can really serve to change the face of a friendship.
