Soon the tangerine rose will appear
in the blue noted sky
a night of rituals
allows spirit guide to enter
gathering sacred fragments of the day
pinnacles of jewels threaded
with transforming thread
with transforming thread
scattered thoughts come through the wind
the sun bleached ones remain
storm clouds gather in corners of the mind
they must be swept out
yet some cobwebs remain
yet some cobwebs remain
like a lost Eagle feather they remind us
of our tangled memories
and outstretched limbs
and outstretched limbs
a cloud comforts your head
a blue blanket of stars warms you
as your spirit soars and dances
through the day's dust
through the day's dust
sunlight diffuses and shines
on the gems of your day
on the gems of your day
sweeping the valley of shadows outward
to breath fresh air
as the shapes shift and the edges blur
summer's light dapples with rain
where the flutter of wings glide across your pond
and paints new images of light
It is a Lunar moth
you see her luminous glow
through the dark green spruce
the moon's night light winks at you
the moth is peacefully flirting around tiny new leaves
of the Black Walnut Tree
Green ribbons of her light
cascade in the breeze
cascade in the breeze
you feel the wind and the edges of your day n' night blur
Your pathway is cleared
as your spirit guide departs
he/she whispers
connect the truth
to your stars 
Lovely images of the spirit soaring and dancing in the moon night ~ Thanks for the prompt Ella ~

Wow! Ella, you are a true poet dedicated to perfecting your craft! A beautiful read through such lovely descriptive imagery. I can't wait to see more of what you come up with next. I work hard at my craft but I can only dream (as you have here), of becoming a poet at the level of perfection I believe you are at.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes for your beautiful poetry!
Ella, what an incredible dreamworld you wove. So many perfect phrases, images-one of my favorites" some cobwebs remain like a lost eagle feather" loved this poem:-)
