CELTIC SHIELD

CELTIC SHIELD

A Poem by R J Askew
"

Inspired by one of Celtic Cat's fantastic avatars. Rescued from the ashes.

"

There's beauty in this circulatiry

Curving, curving, curving beauty

Rounding your way through eyes and mind

Rich and warm in your red and gold

Soothing my soul with your sensuous balance

Calming, calming, calming curves

Seeping, deeping, down within

Shielding with your simple shape

Shaping new beauty your turn

Return, return, return to me

With your love, your truth

Your truth love

You are the shape of all my hopes

My curving, curving, curving beauty

Rounding your way through laughter and smiles

Touching me with your timeless perfection

You are the shape of rich inspiration

The loving future of new creation

Stunning write - I am drawn to the Celtic designs as well, in fact all of my jewelry is Celtic as that is my heritage - I wish to study more about the meaning behind the designs some day. I adore how you just let the image's feeling rage out of you in such a beautiful tale. Thank you for sharing.
Light,
Siddartha

This piece is so focused that the whole thing becomes completely sensual and in the same way you could almost be describing a woman here. A very pretty piece indeed. Mx

This could be something like a self chant to gear yourself up for each day that you must face the world head on. I like the flow and the way it seemed to come together in a way that allowed you to feel as if was your own thoughts and words being said aloud.


Great Job!!!!!

A mantra indeed, as Ken says! One that's repeatedly chanted as one goes into and through and out of the labyrinth of the Celtic knots and spirals and swirls. Your words conjured up a labyrinth for me, as that is a healing path, a journey, on which one goes to the center/Center but can never get lost (unlike a maze, in which it's very easy to get lost!), and I can almost hear a soft drum as a heartbeat along the way.

Beautiful!

The interesting thing about Celtic Knotwork is that it is viewed as the pathwork to a deeper spirituality and meditation, I find it interesting that in your poem you depict the sense of spiraling downward and then back up again, in my practice this is called evolution and devolution and it is the movement of the Universe and the movement of spirit within the physical plane. I really like this peice and it is deeply spiritual. I love the flow of this and the depth and such of this writing. I applaud your efforts on this and the creation is just awe inspiring. Wonderful!

I could imagine this chanted by monks in a monastery ...

Almost a mantra, to be repeated with several voices.

well, I always love all of Cat's avatars, and all the glorious humor she brings with them - I do remember this one best I think. She can't be expected to wear the same thing every day I suppose lol. You do have a most creative mind - bringing fantastical words and stories to seemingly mundane everyday experiences and things. great job, as always.
