Gardening Planets

June 12, 2009
Unfolding artifact of memory.
***

a soul walks in gardens,

stroking and hugging horses before goodbyes to earth.

surrendering, sinking into time,

fading, unsettled, struggling with departure.

sweet and sour bi-polar roller coaster

welcome back to one and goodbye to another.

***

when truths from "medicine",

from body and soul herbalists of

earthwalkers,

these People of the Horse

from before the Comet Strikes

and the great waters

whose young warriors

drafted to earthly empires

away from the purposes of Grandmothers

now hovering in time

between the dreams of grandmothers

and the seven generations

when our hopes and dreams

centred in the soul of woman

gathered some glimpse of three dimensional earthtime reality.

More food for thought than measured in sugar and flour..

***
this

half moon rising,

somewhere someone's sun is setting.

tomorrow's planned,

time written in the four stones

Time, Fire, Air and Life

the fifth stone,

fire of uncertainty,

"firestone" brings surprise.

flexibility is strength.

draw on the water of life.

Dream Stones
August Moment
***
When

summer’s heat retreats

to a relief of rain

some long hoped for rains

a well placed soul

withdraws to consider

within these aged walls

the reaching gardens overrun,

in a waterfall of windswept rain.

seeking some moments conviction

as unfolding garden dreams

are quenched with rain.

A dream perhaps of eagles lair

and mountain crag,

a Spirit standing in some tallest pine,

of storms that rumble there

on horizons brow.

And how this wind hints to wary eyes

when quiet shrug of spreading wings

to float but momentarily

and lifted up

above these rolling storming clouds

awaiting calms return

to garden’s dream.

While floating there,

considering,

some place of memories

of visions hue

and dancing with like Spirits there

in air above the rumbling storms below

while fluted dreams or softer dreams

before and after passages such as these.

In this time and wearied world

some land awaits the quenching rain

and awaited rain beneath the storm

seeks perhaps a fire’s blessing,

a higher blessing that only eagles see.

Some Spirits perennially,

return to a garden’s dream

and through the storm washed gardens walk

perhaps on those stones there,

a path where vines and waterfalls

hold fast to visions

and speak of Earthly garden

visits in gentler times

and seen again

while floating there above the storms.

******
May your canoe find quiet waters.
