Color of the day: Blue Incense of the day: Jasmine The Rusalki (singular, Rusalka) were sensuous sirens in Russian mythology. To attract their bounteous power for love and protection (of you or of waterways), read this poem at a river, lake, or seashore. Rusalka We wrapped ourselves in your silken waves. We clouded men's eyes with our colors, our patterns, The blues and greens that blend river water, Green banks, and leaden sky as one.
We flashed our eyes, spume-green, sea-blue, and drew the power of the wind within us.
And when they called your beauty forth, All the seawalls in the world could not contain it; We laughed and danced the joy of otters, undines, mermaids, Manatees.
In your aqua world made flesh. |
