Day 222 - Water Women

Lay me down in the waters.
You see there is the space
For the procession of daughters
Whether dark or fair of face.
The ritual you dream of at midnight
Is only minutes away.
For nothing is more out of sight
Than a procession in midday.
The swirling skirts of mystery
Will rustle against the rocks
Praising past instances in history;
Weeping at the memory of pox
Every instant is passed down here
That ever happened to a woman
Ever searching for the incoming seer
Are they, to save the future of their kin
You will not spy them, though
Just see the ripples as they enter
And there away they shall go
In and out of the universe's center.

Day 53 - Firelight Fairy Tales


Firelight Fairy Tales

At this hour it sparks with delight
The fire that crackles and glows
The blanket serves for a cozy night
In hand a book of whispering prose
Beautiful visions start to spin
Of golden threads and towers
They hint at moments about to begin
In green groves covered by flowers
There two lovers shall one day meet
And find ways into bright sunshine
It will bring in many moments sweet
And for one another they shall pine
He will become her shining knight
Proudly bestowing upon her everything
She will be his beacon of light
For one another happiness they will bring
