| a lullaby for light :: between black and white, we find gray(ce). |
she::
give me your face, my love, give me your bones
i will cradle you in the womb of the earth
i will enrobe you with the darkest of gardens.
give me your skin, my love, give me every rippling cell, and i
will paint your portrait on the glistening orb of the sun
i will paint your eyes like eden in the spring.

| the dancing of light |
we::
let us arise! for we are brave, and shall do fierce and beautiful things.
we are luminous offerings, we are poet-prophets
tattooing secret love messages onto every buoyant, vibrant, and dazzling limb.
we are light-chasers and dark-dwellers,
moonlight revelers and warrior-dancers.
let us awake, let us arise into light!
let us mark our holy ground
with the blood of our birth, and the skins of our becoming.::
inspired by a friend ::
I love.love.love this!!! powerful.

Deletelove this so much. simple short perfection.
ReplyDeletethank you. Xoxo
Deleteso this is what you were trying to write when that person was staring at your queenly form and derailing all your trains of thought? i think you succeeded. this is beautiful. your writing always make my insides tingle with inspiration. (i don't know how else to describe it.)
ReplyDeletehaha :P i'm glad this moved you so.
Deletethis is incredibly beautiful. 'we are luminous offerings, we are poet-prophets / tattooing love messages onto every buoyant, vibrant, and dazzling limb.'
ReplyDeletethank you, rose. i'm so glad those lines resonated. {{hugs}}

ReplyDeletewe are light-chasers and dark-dwellers,
and the end line are my favourite. Yes, I am both light chaser and dark dweller. Today I am dark dweller. Licking m wounds from the pain of friends rejection. This seems to happen once a year to me. When a few friends at once decide for various reasons that it is time to move on or that I am too much. I got called a hindu follower,a granola tribal woman and they meant it in a very negative way. I said I was tribal and that did not go over well. i got preached at with bible verses. Found lacking and sent back to the fire where I apparently am taking others. I. am. done. here. for . now. DONE. So today, I take to bed ill. I will read, I will sleep, I will be, I will hurt, I will weep.
I hope tomorrow I can once again chase the light.
i read this over my phone earlier and couldn't reply but just know i was thinking about you today. so sorry about your friend's rejection; that is always so heartwrenching, especially for one like you who just opens up her heart and pours herself out. you are a beautiful soul (and for the record, i love hindu followers and granola tribal women. i think that should be the title of your next blog post).
DeleteXx.
What beautiful tantalizing words today Rain! I especially love this "we are luminous offerings, we are poet-prophets" and this "let us mark our holy ground with the blood of our birth, and the skins of our becoming." You re-awaken me. ~xoxo
ReplyDeletei'd love to see your re-awakenings. <3 thank you, sweet sarah.
Deleteoh, and i love the word tantalizing. :-)
Delete*runs along hand in hand with you*
ReplyDeleteyes. *gentle squeeze*
DeleteOh sister, you've gone and done it. And it was well worth the effort. It is our anthem.
ReplyDelete{{hugs}} thank you for suggesting poetry instead of prose. i was worried it was too brief, but thank you. you make me beam. :D
Deleteyour words are haunting and your images peaceful. Thank you for giving them to the world.
ReplyDeletethank you so much. <3
DeleteGorgeous, dear Rain!! Absolutely wondrous! I could hug you so tight, and then we must dance, for this poem is power and light and hope. :-) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteoh yes to hugs and the dance! thank YOU, my friend. <3
DeleteI love the layout : She calls and we respond. Right off I was drawn to the response. I realize it is because I am more comfortable with action, chanting, declaring.
ReplyDeleteSo, I now softly turn and return to the lullaby sung by She. I allow Her love to pour over me, drench me clear through to dark, to deep. I do not do this enough. I spring too often into action, when love is what I need, filling is what I need, stillness is what I need.
I appreciate this rain, I shall be returning to sit in the presence of Her love song.
i'm so glad that you got that...i was worried i wasn't clear enough that this was a call and a response. may Her love drench you, saturate you and fill you today. <3
DeleteThese words are going inside my journal! I wish I could sit with you and soak in more of your wisdom and poetic words.
ReplyDeletei'm so honored that these words would go in one of your brilliantly creative journals. <3 you are so kind, my friend. i look forward to sitting and *sharing* wisdom and poetry with you some day.
Deletebeyond brilliant. Almost too heavy to carry all at once... love your style!
ReplyDeletethank you, sweet rebekah. <3
