A star !

-

 I have no interest in astrology but I drive a Vauxhall  Astra 

 I constantly mis - type the word Astra as Astar

 A star...Astarte - Goddess of the Moon !


Ulalume 

And now, as the night was senescent
And star-dials pointed to morn—
As the star-dials hinted of morn—
At the end of our path a liquescent
And nebulous lustre was born,
Out of which a miraculous crescent
Arose with a duplicate horn—
Astarte's bediamonded crescent
Distinct with its duplicate horn.


After viewing strange lights I once saw a huge shadow cresent appear for an instant in the sky.

    Intereresting. You typed Astar, reminds me of Astarte from Poe's poem Ulalume. She is a goddess of the moon:

    And now, as the night was senescent
    And star-dials pointed to morn—
    As the star-dials hinted of morn—
    At the end of our path a liquescent
    And nebulous lustre was born,
    Out of which a miraculous crescent
    Arose with a duplicate horn—
    Astarte's bediamonded crescent
    Distinct with its duplicate horn.

      The moon is a very interesting symbol. Very mysterious and yet haunting. And beautiful yes. Yw.

      Im stunned by how well the 2nd half of that verse lines up so well to what I experienced.

So this song was playing today in a cafe. So many memories. Strange, and I should have known I would be frequenting said property before the day was out, even if it was only through trick n treating.  The lyrics capture a woman's ability to do a sudden deviation from what a man believes is so. The singer knows despite his current reverie he's doomed. Its just a brief season.  That cycle moon is so me.

  The dreams have started again, as they did this time last year. Last year she was a young short woman with dark hair who would stand very close to me. I could tell she had a great affection for me. I joked she was going to get frisky on last years blog. Last night she returned or rather a counter part of her did, but this time she had blond hair, tied back.  I found myself arguing with her in a garden she accused me of damaging. The flowers were quite robust and of the sun flower type or style. Suddenly in the midst of the argument she leans forward and kisses me on the lips instantly, and then carries on the argument with the same intensity as before. I then attempt to kiss her and she resists, all the while still scolding me until after a few attempts she yields. Heres hoping to seeing her again some night...
