sun and moon united forever
the universe's barriers are broken
radiant dream

Tanka Tuesday :: December
december is here in all its glory
buying a new calendar
surrender to the end
a month for many presents and parties
money is going away
winter desolation
the heavy snow isn't giving us a break
some tasks are imperative
trimming the Christmas tree

WDYS :: Freedom
W3 :: a piece of silk
a stitch here
a stitch there
scissors up and down
the piece of silk i bought
many many years ago
she didn’t believe me
i still remember her eyes
her whispers
‘too good for her’
my treasure drawer
held bits and pieces
many tiny little treasures
collected over the years
the precious silk laid down
in there, waiting and waiting
‘too good for her’
each time i opened the drawer
the silk greeted me with softness
her whispers always followed along
‘too good for her’
when i moved out
i couldn’t leave the silk behind
it came in my suitcase
which was its home for
many many years
and of course her whispers tagged along
‘too good for her’
as I get older I understand
i’m free and so the piece of silk
a skirt has been tailored
and flows freely in the wind
her whispers have no power over me
‘too good for her’
let her look

shameless
shameless
the full moon
baths my body and soul
bringing lightness
and power to my being

her radiance finds me
in the middle of the night
keeping me awake
and holding my dreams
in a world where she is the queen

WDYS :: gateway to the past
are you ready to go back
to change the journey
the door is open
is up to you
to cross it
but
remember
the present
that you cherish
will not be
are you ready?
