in the shadows

Inside this almost silent night,
begun with quiet strings
of stars threading through
the cooling air,
comfortably
alone I slip desire
gently on my skin;
welcome worn threadbare
from sharing endless comfort
in the dark beneath the silence,
sounds bequeathed in subtle ripples
of legacy’s despair,
there is magic all around me free,
free not to be required,
freely seen in all its power.
I draw the lightning
then the rolling sounds
of thunder’s grasp,
on every branch and bower
the ritual gift of Autumn showers;
the world relaxes all existence,
opening in paradox to receive
the offering of self.

A prayer, nearly
And a promise

Although some of the visuals in this are of power and chaos, the feeling that comes in reading it is of quiet and peace.  Very much enjoyed!
