Starless Night

Night is our sad rapt madness

Beaten by tender word,

Archer of incandescence

Fearless shouldered.

 

And my brother:

 

We who pass transcendent,

Stepping harmlessly

Into valiant army

A sentient child

Only to blush one smile

Where all was nonexistent,

To un-shy her clarity

And with it

Shame our sun

Desperately

The dapples from her eyes

Are healed once more.

 

This from all matters

This as my repentance

And her memory made by ever for

My making

Clear as one

 

Yes

Night becomes our story

Where now

You are here

Very lovely & hypnotizing read, Night Owl. I detect a sense of healing, made possible only through the visible anonymity offered by the darkness of night-- and to the many westerners who see the night as a symbol of sin and secrets, they don't understand its intrinsic serenity & redemptory nature. I can relate.

The darkness makes us One. And Oneness makes us whole.

RAD.

You think that darkness offers anonymity? Well I suppose it could were it not for the light that purrs from the source. The passion that glows and presses into everything that bleeds from joy. That is by far and by nature an impossible thing to hide behind when you are both shining and howling into the rain of both black and star. Yes! Redemptory and Yes intrinsic in the walk serene but a shaman does not worry about westerners or secrets or time. The dance of the owl is too wonderful a thing in my eyes to worry over such small of things.

I love that darkness makes us One and that Oneness makes us whole but just as venom can kill it too can heal and the fire of night in vein must never be taken as a symbol but as an actual wind that allows the soul and Oneness to take a proper flight. Beyond all it offers a healing and more it offers a death in truth and fire…thus healing in the wealth of an infinite worth..Leo style ;). Love those words of yours..Thanks Luna~ I do have an owl that I greet in glee most days. A beautiful dance we do share~ I call him Benny~
