The Painter
If I could paint with hues of blue
I’d paint gray clouds that sadden you
I’d find some yellow and I’d add
The brightest sun in glitter clad
And if that sun does not cheer you
I’d paint myself a gray shade too
Then snuggle close along your side
Until your tears have all been dried
Listen October –
Why are you Golden-
Why are days Shorter-
Where is the Sun-
What do you say – eh?
Here says the Sun –
Just behind Clouds-
Just farther Away-
Still your bright Star-
Still shining above.
Night’s Glittering stars-
Show me the Bear-
Show me some Sisters-
Show me the Hunter
Look up – said the Sky

Emily Dickinson provided the inspiration in Fashion Me Your Words today at Real Toads.
Carpe Diem # 1027 “movement”
our inspirational quote for today:
[…] “Haiku is the poetry of nature and nature is always in motion. Seasons come and go, the moon changes every 28 days and so on, the only thing which is steady and without clear motion is our sun, that big star of our Milky Way around which the planets are rotating.” […] Chèvrefeuille, your host

shadows crawl
across the mountain peaks
following the sun
the gentle moon peeked in
smiled at me
sang me a lullaby
the morning sun appeared
shook me awake
without sweet song
tonight I’ll draw the drapes

Carpe Diem #914 time
prompt by Hamish
I am one
with the moon
and stars
the cosmic dust
of planets
I am one
with the sun
and clouds
the flow of rivers
the ebb of tides
I am one
with the music
of nature
the dance
of seasons
I am one
with the beat
of your heart
the pulse
of your being

Just Jot It January 26th – oneness
Sun shines soft upon the land
trees and rocks and rivers
Shines for every woman, man
shines for every creature
We should turn our faces up
fill our hearts with solace
Reach out and extend a hand
allay another’s sorrow

Bastet has prompted us to write a hymn. She gave us the example of Good King Wenceslaus.
B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond

I flung my frail poetic words
up to the flaming star, the sun
letters rained down, rejected, shunned
scattered like storm-tossed twigs, undone
but birds and bees have salvaged them
reclaimed, renewed, turned into song
the air around me shimmers, hums
with hymn of fantasy begun
( I used the word sun and got the binary code 01110011)
