Ariadne

by xoxShorteexox   Dec 9, 2011


Ariadne running through the Labyrinth she's the mistress of,
flowing gracefully through the spiraling pillars of labyrinth walls,
creating a pattern of steps that made the path into a dance floor,
turning in slow circles staring up at the stars slowly turning with her.

She dances further into the darkness of the labyrinth of tunnels,
dance to the center of the labyrinth where the monster lies,
the awful smelling Minotaur who is her half-brother she thinks,
she'll dance for him, she'll dance with him and she'll dance to him.

Dancing into the darkness with the horrific beast next to her,
where he's the brightly showing star and she's the gleaming moon,
she has a belief that she will be welcomed into the light; death comes swift,
believing they can be reborned where the Minotaur is a noble man and a god.

Ariadne ("the Utterly Pure") is the Minoan (Cretan) Great Goddess and Mistress of the Labyrinth, who is goddess of the shining moon and the dark underworld. In the center of the spiral Labyrinth a monster waits, who is yet kin to the Goddess (in the Attic myth, Ariadne's half-brother).
