I dream the stars
Their distant lights gleaming
To guide me home
In the breadth of a night-span
Walk a wide-wheeling world
In wonder
While in timeless torrents
Currents of tides
Dance with wild freedom
Far unseen
Mine, the wild
I will not wander there alone
Before the breaking dawn
Shattered moon dust sinks beneath
The clouds
Of a turning earth
Ah, the rising sun
Begun again the day
Tomorrow’s reign
And will it rain
Sorrow, or joy
The pebbles that once enjoyed
Their places in ancient monuments
Ask these questions too
Of eons and their entropy
The fractal fragile dew
Tumbling through the morning sky
Glistening like spilled memory
Wash the landscape clean
It shines anew
The mists of unknown parting
Uncertainty dark and light
Not yet torn in two
I will spend
Delicious moments
Savoring silence
In the gaps between possibilities
Rest knowing solace
In the shelter of you
Bright one, so you call me
Tonight just silver moon
Shining dimly from half-closed eyes
I dream, I dream, as all we do
The bold go forth
Not half as wise
Be still, let go
And be at peace
Child, you say, I carry you
Loved this, Eilis, and particularly “fractal fragile dew”.
Thank you, Steve. 🙂
Such beautiful imagery here, Éilis. There were so many lines I loved, I couldnt pick out just one! 😊 And so much emotion too. Gorgeous!
Thank you, Ali! You made my morning. 🙂
Well I’m glad something I said could have that effect! 😊
This is just so beautiful, Eilis – I love it 🙂
Thank you, Helen! 🙂
