Amaterasu
В солнца сиянии светлая дива вышла пещеру покинув на миг ветра весеннего слыша порывы что в её тайную келью проник дивные очи подняв озарилась кто этот облик волшебный пред ней? в зеркале чудном она отразилась всё ослепив красотою своей
Аматерасу смеялась впервые И жизнью весна наполняла эфир птицы запели повсюду лесные солнце вернулось опять в этот мир
(only in russian, sorry )
UPDATED english version thanks so much to for great help with free translation (certainly the english version is lost poetic rhyme and size (step), but now possible to understand the meaning of the poem) :
Amaterasu
into the suns radiance pure lass did leave the cave for a moment she heard breath of spring's wind that entered in her secret dwelling She raised her marvellous eyes: "who is this magical shape before me?" in strange mirror she herself was reflected in all blinding by beauty to its
Amaterasu laughed for the first time and filled ether by spring and life of bird they began to sing everywhere in forest the sun returned again into this peace
You have so many comments on this piece that don't really say anything - not that you minded the cascade of "amazing" and "beatiful", I'm sure.
It is beautiful, she's a pretty lass, and you placed so many wonderful elements of the sun that it's hard not to catch who the lovely lady really is, even if one knows nothing about Japanese myth. (Or Russian, for that matter.) Apart from the names for sun gods and goddesses being very similar across a multitude of ancient cultures, I can't think of anything else I've ever read concerning a sun goddess in this fashion. Unique, well represented (the light and color you used are perfect), I'd have to say that this poem is a bright one!
