Layers & Doors




This was a good day
to court layers, not only for their nature
of colors and shifting shapes
but asking the why of their cause
for giving eyes reasons
to see beyond…

the day lent to moments where,
when the sun was just right
it streamed through the fog of mind
streaming through trees, casting spells,
paralleling prismatic patinas,
hues hugging horizontally, as they do,
without fail

without question…

and I wanted to grasp the quality
of floating gems,
for you,

but beauty is fleeting
and all things mysterious
fade into light

this was the day I saw
funnels of fog light
dance on a river ~
several hundred
small funnels of spirit matter
attempting to draw loose from the water,
to float upwards, to beyond

rooting in me a thought to think
of times not now, not here,
but of then, and there, as ever was,

so I did what I do, in an attempt
at understanding, and looked
for a sign…

when I saw him…

so high above, looking strangely
ancient, on his way toward the light,
to a doorway

beyond

where understanding is held
on a higher realm,
there, on a plane

that calls out to those who listen

even through the cacophony

even when they cannot believe
that they, too,
can lift layers

to see just a little more…

I'm going to pretend you wrote those lines just to make a moth smile.

This is such a cool poem...your words rise with the same spirit from which your inspiration came. Lovely mystical write poetess of the sun.

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold."
"So dawn goes down to day ...
Nothing gold can stay."

Karilea...I knew something beautiful would come from those photos, where you caught more spirit than light.

so I did what I do, in an attempt
at understanding, and looked
for a sign…

when I saw him…

so high above, looking strangely
ancient, on his way toward the light,
to a doorway

beyond

where understanding is held
on a higher realm,
there, on a plane

that calls out to those who listen

even through the cacophony

even when they cannot believe
that they, too,
can lift layers

to see just a little more…


Oh Karilea, this is stunning, absolutely.
Thank you so much for sharing him with us, for capturing him and enabling  us to "see just that little more" The poem, the images all beautiful.

Maree  

keeping this.


fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

(smiles) Oh Karilea, this is beautifully tranquil, sweet friend, the sky certainly isn't the limit, for some places just aren't born for barriers and layers! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
