The Oracle Speaks — Listen and dVerse OLN 390

Listen

Listen to my seasoned
winter bright daffodil,
a knower who breathes
of Eden sweet sanctuary.
Walk there, wander intuition
as summer wind climbs earth,
arises like blue animal spirit.
Behold wild things shine and
leave deep rooted secret.
Life falls, a blossom
resting gentle
come soft, quiet dusk.

The Oracle, aka magnet poetry.  Grace is the host of dVerse’ Open Link Night.

        I didn’t get around to planting much other than some herbs and tomatoes… lovely image. My monarchs are still in their chrysalis (son sent me an image this morning).

          <3 <3 <3 I did a walk around the milkweed yesterday and saw little signs of chewing, eggs, etc. I did see one fuzzy caterpillar but that's it.

            Fuzzy isn’t Monarch. Yellow green white is Swallowtail. Monarchs don’t have fuzz either.

        My pleasure, Lisa. It adds to the piece; reads like a heavenly direction sort of thing.

    I would love to listen as you read this poem … your voice becoming a whisper as you recite the final beautiful line … ‘Life falls, a blossom resting gentle come soft, quiet dusk.’

      Maybe you’ve seen daffodils poking out of the snow at winter’s end? That’s the word The Oracle gave me and I think it works? Thank you, Bjorn.
