MLP~Mystic Lake Poetry

[Jennifer C]

An earthy autumn morn' rushes magically
fumbling in burnished triumph
and laughing loudly in delight.
Whilst scented spring bows its head
into the wind,
when night decays with silence.
Each dewdrop paints persuasive red lines ,
a star shoots westwards
and sunrise awakens across the horizon.

hmmmm

Fading into the Red


Red, blood drenches walls
calling to my ancient soul
Dare I answer?

Standing within the hallowed moments
the past floats within my grasp
shadow dancers floating amongst the red
melding with my ghost
now forever one with the earth.

Piouretting within the terra
forward I go to my destiny
leaving behind the wailing women
clinging to desires of those who press in love.

Forgotten guards blind to ordinary eyes
protecting vulnerable naivity
til blooming truth emerges
eyes once veiled now drenched
in the red.

still in the works..........

Water is the other side of Fire's transformative coin.
Where Fire creates change through release, Water creates change through
connections. Water wears away the stone, changing stone to sand and
carrying each grain of sand to a new relationship as a beach or
riverbed. It changes a lifeless desert into a field of flowers, not by
destroying the earth and releasing its energy into another form, but by
slipping through the soil, reaching the waiting energy of the flowers,
and acting as the catalyst that allows the flower's energy to develop a
relationship between soil and sun.

Fading into the Red


Red, blood drenches walls
calling to my ancient soul
Dare I answer?

Protecting vulnerable naivete
til blooming truth emerges,
forgotten sentries stand tall
blind to ordinary eyes,
hidden in the ochre.

Fixed within the hallowed moments
the past floats within my grasp.

Shadow dancers flit amongst the clay
melding with my ghost
fading,
forever one with the earth.

Piouretting within the terra
forward I go to my destiny,
leaving behind the wailing women
clinging to desires of those who
press forward in confused love.

Eyes once veiled now
drenched
in the red.

Wow Du this one is awesome !!
I love the imagery and also the pic. I could feel it
just surging through. Beauty and yet so sad. I can see
the painting on the wall of that cavern and feel
the forgotten ones who were once, but no longer.
Very inspiring write.

What Fading into the Red is about....

Hey Art..
Ty for the compliment as well as TY RF for reading and enjoying this work.

It is about change. Feeling your true self (which is the whispers of the ancestors calling you) come alive and leaving behind the former woman that always tried her best to do and become what those who said they loved her said she should be.

It came to me when camping last week end at Red Cliffs. Morgan said he saw our shadows dancing on the red cliff walls becoming one with the ancestors and so many others that also stood there in front of a fire and watched their shadows surge into the ochre walls.

I felt a change come over me that night. Watching shooting stars from our tent and feeling the ice cold air on my face as I slept. This was who and what I always have been. One with nature and finding truth in the old ways.

Hence I wrote a poem lol... the canyon is surrounded with faces that if you meditate long enough you will see them standing guard over the shadows. Watching for those who hear to emerge into the old ways state of being.

A beautiful place as is many places here. We found a new place on the Desert reserve here in Leeds. It is my power spot and I await the time to go and hear the message that rides on the backs of warm breezes that russle the sage.

More to come lol..
Love

[wildsweetone]

i get a poem a day email from another website and to me it sounded zen-like so i thought i'd share it with you.

Autumn River Song

The moon shimmers in green water.
White herons fly through the moonlight.

The young man hears a girl gathering water-chestnuts:
into the night, singing, they paddle home together.

Li T'ai-po

[bluerains]

found this and reminded me of the ~Du

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.
- Dogen.

Art and Blue

Thank you so much both of you for such inspiring writes and quotes. I am honored you brought them here! I spent the day at a natural hot spring today. They set up old tubs and the hot water from the earth runs into them... on a hill you sit and look over the mountains covered with snow... I can not tell you how perfect it was... Morgan spoils me... it only cost $5!
I know there is a poem from this day coming... all in the making ..

Miss you both big love..

fog on the lake
hides the mystical

shielding a world

in misting swirls

as if fairies drape
the dew

to conceal from you

the mysticism

I realized I hadn't added another zodiac poem to this thread since Virgo.

This is one of my favourite peices from this series. It speaks of Anubis, the jackal-headed brother of Isis and his role in the journey of the immortal soul to the Fields of Peace.

bumping up to rethink on blues cipher... hmmm will be back with thoughts and mind boggling riddles lol..
du~

I thought you were gone for a while to move ..glad you can spare a few moments...I have a new cipher for you ...to ponder from ~R~...see if you can make empathic waves and I am looking up the hints....maybe together we can see a bit more...luvfromblue


gone too long ... underneath the midnite sea
....

from atlantis to meru ... from meru to peru ... remember the wars of
aventus ...

through the warm hearts of america the winds of anger will grow into
storms ...

sea of nabium ... sea of ambrium ... sea of andarium ...


how far to go we cannot say ... how many more will journey this way?
until your eyes and hearts are opened ...

dark nights will fall on sleeping souls ... far from your sun we watch
history repeat ...

storms have come to awaken mabus into another day ... dark skies will
fall down and wash the stars away ..

look through the eye of the storm .... verbum sapienti .... oceans of
light ... whispers in the night ...

io ... phoebus ... vega ... andromeda ...arcturia

father, sun ... earth my mother ... hold the memories ...

ultraviolet ... light the way ... when six was nine ... and night was
day ...

storms in america ...

 

[Du Lac]

bumping for working on... anyone have any thoughts? I like the jest of this one but it almost seems to plainly worded to me....
help greatly appreciated

The Watchman


He sits and waits
her maturing faulters on the edge
poised between earth and sky
his cravings crawl from his mind.

A strength from within, burning under her skin
feminine eyes blink back tears of the past
their path bursting with dusty red rocks
youthful terra filled with vigorous life.

He calls for her to follow
hand held out for her safe approach
pushing her forward into gusting joys
an addiction to share one's mirth.

Elks whistle, grouse dance
echoing canyons filled with silent solace
wide open spaces of healing red
willingly she stands before the watchman.

Protective love wrapped in burly arms
a seduction to change
luring her into a new world
filled with pink folds of clay upon the horizon.

it was the fall of 1927 where future's past became that of 1297

you will see tomorrow ... the answer and the lie .... don't come alone
but come with fire and stone ...

look inside of yourself and you might see someone you don't know ...
it's just what you need letting the river in you flow ... where familiar
faces and worn out places are your history's cage ... look foward to a
future in the past ... welcome to your life .. there's no turning back
... while you sleep ... they will find you... don't turn backs on mother
nature ...

there's a room where the light won't find you ... however they are right
behind you ... they lack the vision .. one headline why believe it ?

Enola Gay ..you should have stayed at home yesterday ... why did you
lie? ... the damned don't cry when two moons shine over moscow in your
unguarded moment ...

Stephen confronts the pope and chastises him for his lack of action in rescuing the Holy Land. The chagrined pope grants him permission. The horde of children set off for Palestine, expecting the Mediterranean Sea to part for them as the Red Sea did for Moses in Christian belief.

Finally, the church passed a series of anti-semitic laws, requiring Jews to wear distinguishing clothing and forbidding them from holding political office over Christians.
