Let magic sail in
on a brilliant candy corn sky
this blushing child heals—
time the thing of poetry
and night thoughts,
dances yet lingers
~flowing in circular patterns~
eternity’s ghost-fires
sends colored smoke clouds
from the stars.
In this rhythm of old secrets
the universe dazzles with if—
listen.
There’s a heavy rain falling this morning, but yesterday morning was beautiful. I didn’t get a chance to consult the Oracle yesterday, but she must have known I had a good day and gave me this puente. (I added a few words she couldn’t be bothered with.)
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Lovely write
Thank you very much!
You had me at ‘candy corn sky!’ Loved this, Merril. I’m glad you had a good day.
Thanks so much, Jill!
She does seem hopeful. Dancing with you too. (K)
She does. Thank you.
I’m so glad you had a good day yesterday. I’m also glad the Oracle is compliant. She might inspire, but you’re in charge 😉
Thanks, Marie!
I would hesitate to cross her though. 😉
lol …
Candy corn sky…love this Merril! 🙂
Thanks so much, Holly. 🙂
You’re very welcome! 🙂
I liked this yesterday. Maybe my likes are disappearing. Not a new thing!
Great prose, Merril!
Thanks so much, Resa. There are definitely gremlins at WP–they just randomly strike. 🙂
Agree!
I love these lines:
“time the thing of poetry
and night thoughts”
Answers held in the past; unknowns of the future.
Thank you so much, Ken. The Oracle knows.
Love the candy corn sky….
… and I’m listening…
Thank you–and I know you are!
😊
More splendid building with the bricks you were given.
Thank you, Derrick.
