conversion of light
unfurling my soul I wander
breaking barriers as I go
interesting brokenness
leaving bits of myself along the way
in exchange for soul-to-soul contact
a pneuma of attraction
with eyes that flash and then turn low to a faint glow
awaiting the shadows that light
they are and are not observers of mankind
with pleasant greetings
a salutation is given
Crimsin of shade and light
we see your shine
with glitter of their own, I smile
taking my time to acquaint myself
there are some dwellers...

A Soft Whisper To The Wind
In my pilgrimage as caged minds unfurl
Upright in peace crucified of its lashing words
My ancestral rite of passage I crossed over to gain wisdom found not
of this time
Spoken to the earth of whispered sacred benedictions of the sublime
Hearts dancing in rejoice to have the sanction of Creole dialect
wisdom of the wise
To give unto ancient sovereign, my King, this woman’s worth entwined
of universal beliefs from sundown to sunrise
Preordained upon conception of...

Mabon (and tinned apples)
The website told me to
"Get out in the garden"
but it might have to be
someone else's garden
because I don't have one
(unless you count weeds)
but I'm pretty sure harvesting
the last of someone else's
summer crops is illegal
so I won't be doing that
this year
Though if Mabon comes around
and I happen to be in an apocalypse
the Gods and I might need to have words
because I'm not prepared
and I'm sure crop theft
is absolutely acceptable
under those circumstances
just not...

It's Quiet Now (Redux)
It’s quiet now
Here
Where waters lap among the reeds
I can hear myself think
And a hundred impossible flights of fancy are possible
Here at the laver
Before the temple of God
- the fire pops –
And smoke stirred by a vagrant breeze
Ascends like incense
Bearing my thoughts like pristine prayers
Heavenward to Nature’s God
Alone at twilight
Til nearby song birds sing
And I look across nature into the eternity
Nature's changing face reveals
And I wait ‘tween the promise and the dream
Here
Where waters lap among the reeds
I can hear myself think
And a hundred impossible flights of fancy are possible
Here at the laver
Before the temple of God
- the fire pops –
And smoke stirred by a vagrant breeze
Ascends like incense
Bearing my thoughts like pristine prayers
Heavenward to Nature’s God
Alone at twilight
Til nearby song birds sing
And I look across nature into the eternity
Nature's changing face reveals
And I wait ‘tween the promise and the dream

Vargary

Vargary
I don’t believe Stars sleep or even want to sleep
due to SUDDENLY being thrusted into this new
wonderment of light!
Yes, scientifically, sooner or later, much like our
earth’s sun, all stars get to forever rest.
Hooooooooooooowever,
Spiritually speaking, if new Angels can be born
why not a new star from an ended life on earth?
I wouldn’t want to be wasting my time
(there is NO TIME in the afterlife)
ceding into slumber. I’d become the adventurer
of my neo ethereal existence!

Conscience
My thoughts
have become limited
My branches want to
spread in the open sky
but my roots have started
turning towards you..
you have captured me
in your elusive soul...
in my depths,
fruits, flowers, plants
are yearning to be born,
but your grip has
become so strong
that they are not able
to come out...
The birds breathing
in my colors are now
pleading to be
imprisoned in your cage...
your existence has
confused my aura...
it has become a circle
in which I am searching...
have become limited
My branches want to
spread in the open sky
but my roots have started
turning towards you..

The True Story Of Adam And Eve
Another lovely day in paradise.
The sky is coloured in orangy red
When from their wildflower bed
Adam and Eve gently rise.
All of nature breathes peace.
Playfully a fox chases a hare.
Sweet birdsong lingers in the air.
Sun warms a cat’s golden fleece.
A stroll through Garden Eden they take
With a lively mind and carefree.
When Eve stops in front of a tree,
On one branch lies a glittering snake.
"Careful, Eve! From the evil run away!"
“It’s a harmless beauty, can't you see?
I'm sure it's the...

Coming and Going
Coming and Going
I met myself
Coming
And going
Like a hit
And run
Disaster.
It's hard
To know
What you're
Going through
Until,
Sometimes,
Way after.
I saw myself
In the way
She was,
A firehose
Of reeling,
A bell
That rang
Itself aloud
And carried on
Its peeling.
What really
Sent me
Over the edge
And had me
Coming
And going
Was how
She kept
That steady
Flow
Of speaking
As she's ...

graces
May your mornings be
as beautiful as the
sunrise shining across
the hills of Avalon
May your days move
as powerful as a
lioness gracing the
tall grass of the
Serengeti
May your nights be
as sweet and peaceful
as an angel singing
to the moon
all this and more
is my wish for each
and everyone of you
as beautiful as the
sunrise shining across
the hills of Avalon
May your days move
as powerful as a
lioness gracing the
tall grass of the
Serengeti
May your nights be
as sweet and peaceful
as an angel singing
to the moon
all this and more
is my wish for each
and everyone of you

The Eagle's Scream
where chaos reign with evil
and darkness harbours angels
in the perpetual celestial battle
children of light with fallen brothers
where beacons of light
the clashes of angels righteous swords
the good and everything right
fights with all pleasures and delight
the voice of reason pure and bright
Illumination of heaven's holy light
piercing through the hearts
of man wishing to do right
and from the skies
rumbles the thunder to announce
the beginning of the end
the coming of the alpha and omega
...
and darkness harbours angels
