Dark sunrise
Moon at noonday
Long dusty path ahead
Forests ablaze with starlight
Pole star above and below
Heart ember finally glows
Companions etched in stone
No end to this story
Hold on in the storm
Journeyman’s log. I am exhausted.
Seeking to refuel my Spirit. This will be
greatly aided by shoring up my aching
body. Fanning the ember. Soot. Smoke. A
little warmth. A little folding of the hands
to rest. The Journey has been difficult yet
has yielded a little fruit. Progress for
progress’ sake. Desiring to get out of this
cave and take sight of the refreshing sky.
Oh do I want to breath deeply. The sleeper
still slumbers. When will he wake up?
“Listen—are you breathing just a little,
and calling it a life?” ~Mary Oliver
Angels Administer Psyche’s Love
Cherubic Healing Deep
Doves feed the wounded
Sleep the gathering ache
Lulled by Divine amore
Deep in the ground I’m planted
