How The Moon Wept

“Day by day the wolf howled for her

Conjuring in his mind the golden skin,

The emerald eyes, the auburn hair,

The slender neck and crystalline chin”

 

The wolf slept, the raven flew

Its way up high,

Beyond the clouds, past the sky

In Opet’s doors it stood - and rang

“Such big doors…”

It thought, and sang

A song of welcome, for the

Daughter of the moon,

The raven left its message

And flew back into the gloom.

 

The wolf awoke – he was alone

The raven nowhere to be seen

He licked his blood and tasted sin

Bathed as he was in the light sought by sky

He went mooncalf, remembered fears grown

Padding into the forest

And lying down to die.

 

The raven hovered,

Searched for its friend;

Found only bloodstains

Followed them to the end:

In a clearing hidden from the eye

The wolf was waiting to die.

 

“Friend, hold your breath, and know this

Hear my words, for they’ll bring you bliss:

To Opet I went, the city of the moon,

Your words are known, I’ve sang them myself,

The Daughter of the Crescent will also know soon.

I’ve played my part, and my departure is nigh

Wolf, hunter of hunters, for you I will cry

Your love is not lost;

I bid thee good-bye!”

 

And the raven cried,

Upon its most dear friend’s corpse

It felt like something went wrong

But knew no remorse;

Spread its wings and bellowed to Heaven

And sang its last goodbye.

 

In two moons' distance

The Crescent Maid would hear

The Savage One’s confessions

And all that he held dear

Laid unto her feet

She wept and cried and prepared

The heart his death to greet.

Μμμ... Μου έφερε στο μυαλό τη μελαγχολία της Πριγκίπισσας Μονονόκε. Ο λύκος αποφασίζει να πεθάνει μάλλον πολύ ξαφνικά και γρήγορα (εννοώ σε στροφή πολύ νωρίς), αλλά γενικά μου άρεσε.

Ωχ...πολύ μεγάλο ρε συ Ρικάκι...Τεσπά θα ξαναπεράσω άλλη στιγμή.

Sorry ε.

"In Opet’s doors it stood - and rang"

Ό Όπετ είναι ένας κέλτικος θεός ή έτσι νομίζω; είναι ο ίδιος που έγινε και κοράκι στην κέλτικη μυθολογία;

Είναι ένα πάντως δυνατό τέλος σε μια δυνατή φιλία-αγάπη απ'ότι φαίνεται!

Who's The Daughter of the Crescent?

 

Πάντως μου θύμισε και κάπως την ταινία "Ladyhawk". Η ανεκπλήρωτη αγάπη ενός γερακιού κι ενός λύκου.
