on a day like this
the great arms
that envelop me
pass through my sight in a flurry of wings
creasing the drifting edges of the clouds
and then beneath my feet
across the fields
the soil
the trees
the soft flow of rivers
almost as if they are looking
to catch and hold
my soul's filament spindle
humming taut and golden
stretched
and resonant
with the unfolding moment
Hi Steven.. beautiful picture of the sky.. seems that at the background is falling a little rain.
ReplyDeletematias - it was preparing to snow. the sky has been opening up much more though and so the result is here. a sky that wouldn't look out of place on a spring day. steven
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, as always, beautiful images, in picture and words.
ReplyDeleteGreat arms enveloping me, that's what it feels like to come here.
oh for the days one can see those arms as a flurry of wings - beautifully said!
ReplyDeleteSpring is stretching out its arms, getting ready to embrace you. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeletesometimes your posts affect me like Psilocybin - and your previous post- Steve Roach, took me there- Geez I don't have to do anything illegal anymore- Thanks, (white boy)!
ReplyDelete"filament spindle" - I love this.
ReplyDeleteI'm very partial to a dramatic sky . . . I love that sense of different elements coming together/clashing. It does create a corresponding tingle/hum/vibration!
ReplyDeleteYour blog-header is splendid.
♥ Heaven.♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Steven. I see you here as part of the earth itself--your kinetic energy and creative artistry (filament and spindle) are grounded though your wings stretch into the sky. You are so often like this, part of the natural rhythm.
ReplyDeletefriko those are welcoming arms!! steven
ReplyDeletepauline - there were a lot of birds in the air on the day i saw this scene. it was really happy-making. i miss the animals a lot in the winter and so to hear them and see them was a special gift. steven

ReplyDeletemargaret thankyou very much for your generous words. steven
ReplyDeleteYour poetry has such a transcendent, mystical quality:

This is what is meant by living in the NOW.
I find myself looking forward to sipping the nectar of the goodness you bring into the world each day on The Golden Fish. Thank you, steven.
dan - it's neat to see you seeing that because the writing is allowing me to draw closer to a place i've known about for a very long time and it's that very transcendent place that you notice here. i'm not sure why i need to go there or whay it needs me to be there. that's the beauty of the mystical. steven
