Dancing on that gleaming edge

Folder: 
Flashback Fridays

 

I stepped

within your mind

on a winding path,

amongst soaring peaks

and jagged crags.

Dizzy,

I can barely breath.

Faint sounds

of fluttering wings

muffle my hearing;

and each step stirs 

a fine dust of ashes 

that swirl 

in the dappled light,

dazzling and beautiful,

and I realize 

that every cut

from a samurai sword

is a clean one.

This Is You

Internally questing, declare a poignant truth in a nowish conclusion. Sometimes the road is sunless, but our creativity bouys us, in our own minds we scale mountains, hear vultures in search of carrion, yet clouds scatter before the poet's breath. we have words to paint the sky less pale, less sword spliced. Come home to comfort for Thanksgiving and the rest of the season. Spread joy, no matter the terrain, no matter the internal stresses. You are called to this because you do it so well. Write, poet. Write! ~ Lady A ~

 

Write the day

write night. See

and say, tell or

unfurl.

.

Write writer,

tell a lifetime

or a piece of time

for raising eyes

up again.

.

Write like a painter

writes with color.

The world has been

chiroscuro far

too long.
