~Time of No Time~ [Poetry]

Postby Unikorn » 04 Oct 2004, 09:00

Seems odd from here entering into Spring and our Beltaine....but I wanted to participate. Here is a poem I wrote the night of Samhuinn here in Aotearoa...

~Time of No Time~~

Unwind, unwrap,
into this time,
overlap,
our world and thine,
as the Wind does blow,
through,
there is no gap,
only you,
this moment -
all things are,
aeons slip into universes,
the sands slide,
the plates collide,
bones rattle,
and the Wind,
blows through,
as if,
there is
somewhere
to blow
to.

Wow! I had to read it twice. Simple, well written. You really captured the spirit of Samhain. :raven:

So few words send the sweet chill of Fall through me. This one walks in both the spirit world and this one - a wonderful work of poetry! Thank you for sharing it!
Pay attention to the path, and learn the hard way.  The easy way is fun and entertaining, but you take away very little.

Yes, Arden, I was thinking that myself. Very evocative of the season.
A great work, Unikorn. I think I'll enjoy it again!

Ahh thank you so much for your kind words - the Winds she sings and I write her song :) And yes, the plates collide is very much tectonic - that was what I was thinking of :) And yes, we do get that here hehehehe
