dark of the year
what is this hell
but a beginning
soft pit of night
where words
give way and fall
dark arms open
like flowers
molecules rise
like stars from your soul
drops of bone
a whisper of thunder
flash
of a sudden smile
storm of
two hands touching
but a beginning
soft pit of night
where words
give way and fall
dark arms open
like flowers
molecules rise
like stars from your soul
drops of bone
a whisper of thunder
flash
of a sudden smile
storm of
two hands touching

Every moment is beginning, every gap is beginning, every touch is beginning... your images are lush.
I've heard that said. "dark arms open like flowers" sometimes, strangely enough, there's a comfort in the "hell" we know. These images exude fire, I hope not all bad.
mb,pat--I changed the title to give a clue what the "hell" in the poem refers to...this time of year is always dark for me (with the sun far away).
But this year felt like a renewal.
Trying to feel the new life growing... and it sure helps to`have you with me!
"Storm of 2 hands touching"
Wow-
A dear friend I love is far away- he is just a friend...nothing more-but he is struggling with a serious illness.
Sometimes, when I see him in my sleep-my wanting to touch his hand- to hug him- makes me feel like a storm in my heart will burst open.
I felt it again- awake- when I read that last line.
Merry Christmas to you Firebird :)
(And I LOVED the pic K9 did for you at his place :) Isn't he the BEST? We are blessed~
Thank you, Mayden, for sharing your feeling about your friend--I hope he pulls through, and I'm sure your loving energy has its effect...
