Spice

For my writer friends, who are there. And here.

Spice

 

Grabbing,

With sharp, pointy corners,

unpredictable spirits…

curved,

sleek edges in amongst the chaos…

The rhythms moved,

pushed past,

and paused….in abundance.

 

‘cross the big pond

far, and so vastly wide…

She moves,

fluid,

breath free flowing and unseen.

(but always felt)

through the steps of the abysmal reach.

His whispers….

in the stillness of quiet,

darkness…

lonely lull of night,

wrapping pairs in luscious warmth.

 

Infinite these weeds of wonder…

twinklings,

a thousand-fold

piercing the clearest, twilight sky.

Yet the wind blows through the tidy hollows,

hoots echoing in ear,

“I Love You”

came crisp,

and clear.

 

In the burrow.

What wondrous words, they seem to drift on a mist of light. One can sense the life rising from the darkness, the simmering sounds, the scents, the barrenness melting into the magic of this subtle spice. Harsh thoughts mingled with those soft and smooth sighs, this burrow seems a haven, a place of escape, a joy beyond measure.

You are one of those writers who seems never to lose her edge . . .sigh . . . a high water mark for you, Lovely. Every time I read it, I hear a melody so soft and lyrical, words cascading over themselves in perfect harmony . . . "Infinite these weeds of wonder…/twinklings,/a thousand-fold/piercing the clearest, twilight sky." Beautiful. The contrasts are surprising and vivid from sharp and pointy corners to smooth and sleek edges punctuating chaos. And yet, and yet "in the burrow" all is welcomed and celebrated. I love this. Definitely a fave of yours. x
