Pleiadian Skies

 


Pleiadian Skies

Pleiadian skies beryl and white,
an ocean of stars a glow,
pouring over the mountain tops,
to streams and rivers below.

Rumors from the Attica Flutes


Rumors from the Attica Flutes

There’s a storm of fire gone unseen
hidden behind the shadow’s screen;
right here on this planet earth
the place that holds what we are worth.
An anxious and a sinful place,
controlled and made by human race,
where every greedy thought takes root
and made a unit of law to boot.

Where Attica flutes of hades sing
those sour notes of cutting strings
that swallow all the gods through fear
in cyber orbit above this sphere.

Such iron bars do now unfold,
with Cerberus guard dogs that they hold,
that fiber optic censored glow
invoking AI storms below.

About this Poem: Inspired by a Henry David Thoreau poem called,

“Rumors From An Aeolian Harp”

The Morning Veil

Sun breaks through the morning veil
bathes the flowers in golden hale,
florets rise with arms outstretched
embrace their God of life and death.

Rising higher, to mountain row
radiant praise, essence aglow
sunflowers sing their glorious tune,
a cycle of life, by sun and moon.

There they stay until sun goes down
hushed to sleep on silver ground,
bathe in moon beams, dew and rain
and wait for God to come again.

Wolf Spirit

 


Wolf Spirit

Rhythm of drums brought the fog
consciousness of the wolf,
summoned spirit of the warrior
he chooses who he comes to see,
for bravery, courage and resilience
are the words he speaks.

Waiting

 


Waiting

Comfort shades brown peering eyes,
there amongst the scent of birch.
Hidden under greying skies
and autumn leaves upon a perch.

Snug and safe from hunter’s game
but ready should the need arise,
to tap into his sturdy frame,
despite the smallness of his size.

A quickened pulse then in his chest
as trappers near, he holds his breath.
Lessons learned now put to test,
one false move could be his death.

There inside he sees it all,
traps are set amongst the grass.
Plans a route to warren hall,
waits until the hunter’s pass.

Silence reigns as sun goes down
a calm return to forest dome
to then emerge from underground
seeking comfort of his home.

The Ancient Forge of Magic Rings


 

The Ancient Forge of Magic Rings

Celestial fires washed away
the golden age of Argonauts
where magic things long forgotten
remain but ashes of old thoughts.

I stood in wonder, mesmerized
in the cave I had discovered.
An ancient place deep underground
with artifacts I recovered.

Beryllium rings, crowned with stones
of ruby and blue sapphire,
for kings and queens and overlords,
that were forged by dragon’s fire.

Twelve magic bands with scrolls attached
concealed in a granite box
with embossed designs in ancient tongue
on layered metamorphic rock.

I stumbled on this hidden place
that was filled with bygone things
in the Monteregian mountains
the ancient forge of magic rings.

The Phoenix Moon

 


The Phoenix Moon

When the phoenix moon rises
and bald eagle takes wing
the timber wolf howls
and mountain fires spring,
Aphrodite will return,
heaven will once again sing
covering earth in warmth
and renewal it will bring.
