Moonrise over a South Jersey field, November.
The sleep shadows said
live life as a moon rising through the mist
with dreams raining from her
in honeyed-diamond language
shining with ifs.
~So, you recall the sweet luscious beat~
as we love and ache
and watch men lie and shoot.
Yet still the sky sings in light-music of purple-pink,
and it floats on our tongues
as the wind whispers why?
Another puente from the Oracle. It seems she knows the world is an especially confusing place these days. (And also that I had some very strange dreams just before waking today.) I didn’t take a screen shot because I planned to come back to the tiles. I thought I emailed the poem to myself, but it vanished. Mysterious world. Here’s the link to the Magnetic Poetry Oracle.
I’m linking this to dVerse’s Open Link Night, which Lillian is hosting, and I’m getting in just before it closes.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
I love the opening of the poem, like the memory of a dream or an incantation. It’s very similar to the first poem I wrote with the Oracle, many of the same images. Aching isn’t one I use much, but we both had it today.
Thank you!
Yes, there are many of the same words and images. (Of course. 🙂 ) And both have that dream quality, too.
It always surprises me. The dream effect is very Oracle.
Thank you!
Yes, there are many of the same words and images. And there is also the same dreamy feel.
Dreamy is the Oracle’s speciality 🙂
Yes, it is! 🙂
🙂
I don’t know how you do it! I have tried a number of times but cannot come close to anything that makes sense 😉
This is wonderful, Merril
Aww–thank you so much, Dale!
You are an inspiration to me, just so you know…
Aww–shucks. ❤
❤
Lovely Merril thank you. Somehow I’m reminded of the symbolism of the Sun, logos and a masculine energy; Moon, Eros and a feminine energy which rises – which the sun does as well of course but she, Moon, also shapeshifts –
Interesting, Susan! Thank you.
I like the thought of the sky singing in light-music.
Thank you, Frank!
Ifs, whys, purple and pink, and honey … I love that these keep appearing in your poems, especially when you consult with the Oracle.
Thank you very much, Marie. Yes, we kind of know each other now. 😉
This is beautiful. I think the Oracle must like you very much. Or trust you with words. I clicked just now and received “chocolate” and “repulsive,” “sweat” and “trudge.” I’m not sure what kind of poem I could build with that. Nor do I think “chocolate” and “repulsive” should ever show up together. 😀
Thank you so much, Robin!
I agree with you about chocolate and repulsive never being together. 🙂 But you must have had more words, too. It does take some time to learn to work with the Oracle.
Oh I love the way you have used those wonderful colors in this… I don’t know if I dream in color, but if I did these would be my hues.
Thank you so much, Björn! Do you not ever remember your dreams? I definitely dream in color.
I only remember my nightmares… alas
Oh, too bad. 😦
If only we could live life as the moon…still she is a good companion in these dark times.
I too had a vivid and somewhat terrifying dream Friday night, yet I woke up feeling much clearer. Strange. (K)
Thank you very much, Kerfe. There must have been something in the cosmos.. .
Honey diamond language …. sigh. What a beautiful post!
Thank you very much, Lillian!
