Liminal Spaces
In these times of uncertainty
we seek a way to proceed
through saturated fear and grief
This juncture in history
is daunting, an experience
of crossroads and liminality—
the dying gasps of patriarchy
surrendering to a paradigm shift
still wobbly on its feet
The Age of Aquarius;
a loving agitator
against the dulling down
of Divine Feminine grace

A lot of great S consonance and E assonance throughout.
The street ahead was illuminated with floodlights and revealed not to be the path going forward.
And I'm all on board for this road not taken in thousands of years.

Very dear Ahavati,
It's a splendid poem, full of good images, and expresses uncertainty in a new era of discoveries, which may be full of fertility.

The last two lines reminded me of the last two lines of Wilfrid Owen's poem, Anthem for a Doomed Youth ("Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, / And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds"). It feels like Owen's words are elevated through your poem by expanding the theme of 'facing desperate times' to encompass more cosmic view, with new energies in operation that will one day integrate the insanity of war into the context of a higher purpose.

The last verse is my favourite, as it’s stuffed with symbols and ideas specific to your style. What comes before is a touch didactic for my taste, but expressed with you firm grasp on rhythm and general intelligence so that it’s not overbearing.

"the dying gasps of patriarchy/paradigm shift" is a true example of progress and evolution. It's been tried over and over again with no real result but now we're at a tipping point. Your writings always offer some wisdom and hope for the future.
Thanks for sharing.
