Time slipped into hours and pages Yet it felt as if a single dip of pen The warm molasses sun now hung Just beneath smoldering billows The light now sepia upon her paper She decided to feed the thunder Climbing up in an empty stomach Pumpernickle and turkey would quiet When arising from her window seat A flash and peck startled her stance There, outside the splintered window sill Spilled a dove of grayest smoke Bearing gift in its ambered beak Bowing and gracefully bidding wing Leaving her to open the window present Of a branch of holly with reddest berries Her thoughts swirled to an inward rush As the verse on her page came to focus The symbol of her Lugh brewed upward Reality prickling between her fingertips She smiled a deja vu into the kitchen And arranged the branch in her hair As the berries were just beginning to ripen Unconscious of the warmest winter rising

One of the best gifts of Passions...is to read a poet's words, and be thus inspired... this is beautiful Regina, and you should be very proud of your talents... |

Marge: I'm glad to be included in your morning anytime. Thank you so much. Willie: Thank you for hanging with me on this trial of verse. I hope to continue without fizzling out! Deb: Thank you very much. Words are magical to me. Sunshine: I wholeheartedly agree. Any talent I may have comes from the tolerated practice here among you all. Thank you dearly. |

I'm glad that I came back to find this one. . . I love the tie-in with Lugh even more now. . . and Regina, you already had the talent, we're just the lucky ones who get to see it. . . again, I am honored to have inspired you. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Absolutely beautiful. As my daughter is currently studying mythology, I am delighted with this tale and the link to Celtic mythology. Thanks. And this one, as Emily's, will be remembered and saved. |
