Fallow 295

The sun is shining
With a brightness to the sky
A chill in the air

I am still working
Catching up after the storm
A week truly worked

But what of small talk
On days possessing such calm?
I step to the beat

My love gathering
A storm of her own design
To not miss next pass

I sit in crosshairs
Rolling eyes, per usual
And drinking my tea

Mixing malaphors
A linguistic carelessness
Mark of The Bard's Tongue

An accustomed thread
Did some hope I would lose it?
For "lose it" I did (Tongue not mine to lose)

But the thread remains
Indelible, holding strong
Strung right through the storm

Psalms 107-118

107:1 Give thanks to the  Lord , for he is good;      his love endures forever. 107:2-3 Let the redeemed of the  Lord  tell their story—      those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands,      from east and west, from north and south. 107:4-9 Some wandered in desert wastelands,      finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty,      and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the  Lord  in their trouble,      and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way      to a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks to the  Lord  for his unfailing love      and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty    ...

New Alphabet Song- 119-1

In the silence grew an olive tree. While strong, it set out to find something more, pulling its roots behind. Soon its roots grew nimble, now carrying it swiftly as legs would. In time it walked on its own, long hair blowing as it traversed the wilderness. Perhaps unbeknownst, another soon trailed behind it, comfortable in its shade. The other grew hair of its own, hair of flame, and took its own path for a time. It set its face forward, like a man he braced himself against his environment. His hair grew long as the one he once and still followed, and he too had one following him to gain his spark. Lit up, the woman called to him and he turned, they became one. In the wilderness a small one was conceived. It struck out on its own, faster than the man or woman, it traversed the many paths. So fast it moved, so fast it stretched and became a serpent, comfortable in its form. The man found the serpent and loved it, sharing what he knew. The serpent walked its own path now, separate from t...

Soulmate Dream: Sepia and Fireworks

I find myself in a crowd, a head taller than most, but this is nothing new. I chat with my friends and those I recognize as many others mill about, but nothing really feels real, nothing seems tangible enough to draw my attention. Then I see you. You are as obscured as you can be this night, well before I knew you and seemingly even before you've bloomed. You are small and sepia, attempting to blend in amongst dull colors, but even still I spot you at the farthest distance, first sight, and stop and stare. I recognize you straight away, despite what seems reasonable or possibly even appropriate for this scenario, and I catch your curious eyes fixed on only me from the crowd. In some senses I had seen you many times before, but in these dreams it is as if every time is the first for me, and I light up with joy invariably. For you it seems different though, and I realize this may very well be the first time you've seen me. You slip into the crowd once more, but it is clear you ar...
