Lesser Ury, London in Fog, 1926
You wander, winter spirits,
in air dusk-dark,
blooms now covered by brown wind-rustle
as I walk, listening to the river
carrying secrets
~and poetry of if and why~
flows in cycles with the moon–
our world, a song rooted in hope
burning bright,
following stars to the dawn,
rising in birdsong of spring
Yesterday was dreary—it looked like twilight all day long, and this morning it’s foggy, and I can’t get myself to do much of anything. I used the nature set from the Oracle this time, and we collaborated on this Puente.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
This shows what can be done in the gloom
Thank you, Derrick. 🙂
Mine is like your first half…also inspired by the weather I’m sure. I like that your wheel turned toward the light.
I have to do the art and will post later. (K)
Merril, this is lovely, your poetry is always beautiful, thoughtful, at times poignant, always stunning images!
Awww–thank you so much! ❤
It’s my pleasure for sure ❤️
You wander, winter spirits,
in air dusk-dark…
I melted reading your first line and throughout your melodic poetry. Winter spirits can be dreary; yet you wandered into the shadows and uncovered hope.
Thank you so much, Rose. What a lovely comment! ❤
😍
Much more hopeful than mine, but the nature set often is. I might try it now to see what kind of a mood she’s in. I love that brown wind-rustle 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 The nature set always seemed limited to me, but somehow today, it was just what I needed!
That’s always been my impression too. Especially for essentials like ‘the’ and ‘s’. But there’s generally something good in there.
I guess so. 🙂
Lovely, Merril. My favorite “rising in birdsong of spring.” Loved that!
Thank you so much, Jill!
Like a slumber awaiting an awakening.
Thank you, Ken.
Definitely a dreary feeling – a good day for napping.
Thanks, Frank.
Thank goodness for poetry.
Yes. It’s a creative release, if nothing else.
Cats annoying me for breakfast lol. Yes, its a life saver, I think. And you end up with a lovely poem for the effort!
Thank you.
beautiful, beautiful writing
Thank you so much!
my pleasure
Hello, Merril … are you aware there is some issue with your “Hidden” post … first several attempts to open, it just said “nothing here” … eventually opened, but keeps saying “loading” at the bottom where I should see a place to LIKE. And when I try to enter a comment, it goes off into deep space somewhere. ???
I’m so grateful that you kept trying–and finally got through. Such dedication. I truly appreciate it!
This brings those spirits so alive for me.
Thank you so much! I’m pleased that you felt that.
My pleasure
