Orbits

I give you 
silence, solace 

The burst of a Sunday spent in 
sleepy reflection, the city's skyline 

Traced in frost and the freedom 
from touch which inhibits, is drawn to 

Covet that which it cannot be 
through a star's alignment foretelling 

Grace and mystery: the Pleiades,
hidden and free.

Author's Note

Matariki is Maori New Year, winter in June here in NZ, coinciding with the appearance of the Pleiades/Seven Sisters. Random facts. Ahuh.

Always wandering, and wondering, what "free" is. I know the feeling.

Happy New Year to you J. What a lovely way of celebrating it and those seven sisters.

Smiling at you

A trusted turn of phrase, well written, good job

[Desert Dreamer]

Long winter nights are times of silence and sleep...I love seeing the stars move in the sky. Winter skies are the best.

[Emily B]

I have a hard time with the polarities of my summer and your winter . . . more than my brain can process some days, you know?

[Red Brick Keshner]

There is that beauty of that which is both hidden and free!
SO good to be reading you again.
