if after heart-haunted nights, I ask for light,
then so do the blue-shadowed trees, their whispers
a symphony in my head–
spring waking–a rhythmic poem winged
in exuberant crow-dance,
a promised gift,
carried on diamond-sparkled water.
I ask, I listen, I watch, I believe
stars sing, soaring through time,
reborn in bird and berry, bloomed in rose.
My poem from the Oracle. She made me work a bit, so I gave her the Redon painting. We’ve had snow, sleet, ice, and rain this week, and today the wind is gusting–but the sun is shining, and each day it rises a bit earlier and sets a bit later.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
As usual, you cause images in my mind. 🙂
Thank you, Frank. That’s a good thing! 😀
Lovely! We all three had images of spring, listening and trees dancing. I didn’t think of looking for an image. Probably because Kerfe had already posted it, inspired by Redon…
Thank you!
We did all have images of spring. I guess we’re all feeling it, and the Oracle knows, of course.
You’re right, that Kerfe’s collage would work well with yours.
She made the scene from the window 🙂
😀
This is so beautiful, Merril. I love how you do that.
Thank you so much, Dale! 😘
I really love this.
I wish I could let go enough to create such imagery.
Thank you!
Just pick a few words and let them rest in your mind–maybe while you take a walk. See what happens. 😀
Thank you, my friend. I think I shall. I’m off to walk in one of our national parks
Enjoy!
This is really beautiful, Merril. Nicely done!
Thank you very much, Jill!
Another positive message from the Oracle! Lovely 😊 wonderful closing lines:
stars sing, soaring through time,
reborn in bird and berry, bloomed in rose.
Thank you so much, Ingrid!
Very nice
Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
Wonderful images. Of course you know I particularly like the crow dance. The changing light is so important, and that painting captures it. I couldn’t believe it was light at 6:30 this morning! (K)
Thank you, Kerfe. I hadn’t seen or heard much from the crows during the last couple of months, but now they’re active again.
There was a very loud one on the roof of a building when I was walking this morning. He spread out his wings as he cawed. I was daydreaming, so I knew what he was telling me…
They’re like Oracles, too.
Yes they are.
Superb rhythm
Thank you, Derrick.
You have some kind of style. Rhythm. Like music.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful, Merril. ❤️
Thank you very much, Colleen!
