'tis after midnight the hermit rises to face the east he prays now--some, more urgent, entreaties find him raising both arms when his mother was still alive, he would sit on a chair to pray for he included another, extra, prayer just for her and his legs would tire there, now, he whispered, "Amen" 'tis now time for coffee and time to communicate, first, with Ram after the preliminaries, will he request, first, a new haiku or a pronouncement--perhaps a tanka or a kyoka--fully aware, he may be told, letter by letter, "Perhaps later" then, he may approach Harmony when both Ram and Harmony are poemed-out, the hermit utilizes his oft-used device: asking whomever of his two guiding spirits is next to be neared, to reach into his mind-- referred between them as: "to reach into his heart"-- and to pull a poem out that may be resting there either that, or a significant memory takes hold and he asks Ram or Harmony to reach in and to pull out, in poetic form, the particulars, for he knows his heart sings clearer in its unstrained, private domain --------- ----------- ..(C)2012 Spiros Zafiris ..channeled; spirit Ram; reaching into the poet's heart ------------------------ |

Just a great bit of writing, Spiros. We all have our well of wealth we refer to as our poems, some written, some to be written. It is, of course, the unwritten that we are concerned with here, and to be able to use entities to help coax these unwritten odes and ballads and tankas, etc., is divine help indeed. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Dear Spiros, I could feel the sacredness of this moment. Is there anything more gratifying and exciting than to explore into depth the connections of spirits, opening the doors to free communication between Above and Below? Absolutely beautiful read, that lingers ... Margherita |
