My favourite constellation is
DELPHINUS
This is because of its spiritual connection to love, loyalty and rescue. -I am interested in the idea that Delphinus, through its connection to the depth of the oceans, is said to represent a bridge to the sub-conscious mind.
The mythological tale where a dolphin was said to have rescued the Greek poet Arion who was thrown overboard from a ship- is a beautiful act of bravery too!
How lovely to be greeted with such stunning work today! Rich, passionate and profoundly evocative, I’m dazzled and delighted. Absolutely brilliant poetry and thank you so much for sharing
Some very good poems. I particularly enjoyed poem two. 😊
