Once nautical felicitous of aerial, blended play in clay pots
The earth in celebration gave roots divine
Venturing a limb into my heart, that stirred of magic

As leaf, then flower so became, drawing wing and finally whisper
Not in folklore, or vintage vagabond…but as in a new creation
Soft grass slippers padded footprints gently on the sand

Leaving but a kissed impression, undeniable, indestructible
That the sky blushed blue and opened spaces in the white clouds
Of golden fingers, passages to heaven, a map for heart and soul

So beautiful the entwine of spirits, that whisper rose in autumn
Deeper, growing deeper in a throaty pigment of red and jolly orange
Until the shores pulled back in sigh, gulping of the wonder at its edges

And dawn shone her lovely face in fringe of pink and purple make
Waving slowly to the fall of day, tickling the world into repose at sunset
And night call became the howling of return…return to the arms of all

And bowed, my body and my mind in one naked moment heard
These ancient tongues that called the sun and the moon to light
As love received his name

Kathy,  

you amaze me with the broad spectrum of
topics that you can write so well.  Each
a gem,  as are you.  Very well done!

Until the shores pulled back in sigh, gulping of the wonder at its edges


The above line and the last line are my very favorites of this vibrant, peaceful piece.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Kathleen~
I stand in quiet awe at the beauty of this penning~

'And bowed, my body and my mind in one naked moment heard
These ancient tongues that called the sun and the moon to light
As love received his name'


How very intuned you are to the Spirit movement~

I just love the all of this~
