Half n' Half







Half Night, Half Day


stealing night I clamor
echoed song in fog's smoke keeps me awake
seer paints my future

stylish blue-threaded with pale moonlight
I glide into indigo's brow
wisdom screeches-tell everyone

silence kills enthusiasm
as I glide into yellow Van Gogh
with my lucky rabbit's foot

    Whew! Awake and gliding, I think from Van Gogh's night into Dali's day! Eerie and beautiful. Someone should paint it!

    Love the use of specific colors, Ella. And I like the ideas of the seer, communication and luck ( we make our own!)

      Hi Kim,
      Yes, but I do think it helps to follow our intuition if it has a strong hooting sound! ;D Thank you~

      Sherry, I thought of you when I typed indigo brow and that chakra poem we wrote! Intuition lives with the third eye-the indigo brow!

      Thank you~

      Hi Rosemary, I have a lot of owls in my neighborhood. I haven't seen one up close yet, but I though why not have fun with it~

      Thank you!
