*Note: Aquarius is the 11th sigh of the zodiac, however it was one of the first constellations recognized by early astronomers. As with most sighs there is a Greek mythology behind this one and also several other cultures see the link below. As always a song for your enjoyment (the video is visually beautiful as well). 🌎✌🏻💙 Take care, be safe.

  4. This is so magical and beautiful. I love the line “pours water for the Gods~” as it creates a lovely visual. The song is one of my favorites and a perfect blend with your poem. Thank you for joining in.

  10. These few words are lovely in their universal beauty; I love how both planets and gods to weave together in this writing. “Zeus’ eyes sip in his beauty” is a fitting and stunning end!
