Malachite stone in hand,
I sit ‘neath slivered new moon
reflecting furrowed amber thoughts
released from deep within
the folded face of Earth,
pondering the inner core of me
beyond the exterior reality
into the healing wells,
and I arise refreshed,
ready to walk the pathway
set out before me long ago,
the one I did not know
was waiting for me.
I greet the dawn
in smile.

You know...I would take the last one, this one, and some of your previous footprints in nature, keep the ball rolling, and get a book done.  I for one would surely buy it.  What a relaxing read, and one that literally soothes the soul.

I spied the slivered silver
a few hours ago in twilight...

and she is splendid in her lazuli light...

as is this poem, Kacy.

James, thank you!
Sharon? that's about the nicest reply I could ever receive! thank you for sharing your reaction, for this and the other post are (to me) two of my most important writes.
Oh, thank you so much, Lady Sunshine!

Siyo MidnightSun there is great healing power in Malachite,you have captured so much of truth here,it must be your spirit speaking!This speaks to me as well deep within of days gone by spent in the Mountians of New Mexico listening to the music of the four winds!

Oh wow! I love malachite! It's the only rock that I can remember from my earth science class in college...the first one I went to see when we visited the Smithsonian in Washington DC...they have the largest piece ever found and it is gorgeous! I stared for hours seemingly while my brother napped in the dark room.

Malachite to me always looks like a moment of elemental flow that has been frozen in time.  

Well done poetic moment.  *smile*
