Maya,
immaculate . . .

Come,
beneath canopy

erect

with buds
of
ivory


Complete profound transcendence
has left me quite attentive
to an unbridled awakening
from a deep, ontological sleep.


Fell

with axe,
yeilded

Consummate
hearth

Relinquish this euphoric

weight


The grove of thy birth

A knot...
in cherry wood....
is the most beautiful.....
and hardest part.

Where once a limb extended...
much the same as the civilizations of the ancient ones.

Definitely a forceful poem.

"with buds

Nicely done.

Thank you everyone . . . I put links there because sometimes I guess I am misunderstood but don't want to sway a perception of what I write, that would be wrong and it makes me very happy to see that each of you see your own knots in these.  Which is what I would want.

Thank you.

Now Kari, you got me on another write there.
*grin*

Thanks guys, so very much.

LOL Michele

I am writing a series of knots . . . all kinds of knots, I have no idea where it came from but trying to put knots in things I write.

somebody liked a couple of my knots, they want to see more . . .

I can understand and applaud this piece of work, but for some reason it reminds me so much of a book I read awhile ago entitled 'The Celestine Prophecy', very nice.

oh my
a
handful
of finely knotted thoughts

methinks the oaks
would love the feel
of your quill
