It said "Come out to play, come find the cusp of the Otherworld just the other side of your door"
And I went.

And I saw how my world melted away, how now empty branches had poems to say.

I saw in the farmer's field rows of hay laid bare, lines to circles of stone that aren't there.

I saw looming barrows just off in the mist, where I know for certain they do not exist.

And down by the river the wild geese were calling, my soul was flying as raindrops were falling.

This liminal world of mystery and shift will fade as the sun comes and dew starts to lift.

But I know deep inside in my heart made of myth, there are ways I can wander in stones, barrows and mist.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hear the geese as they fly overhead , sometimes when I walk the dogs. And on those misty mornings ,like you've described, that sound and the simple glory of the morning settle my heart into a deep, deep peace.
Wonderful photos and words.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne - yes it makes a perfect start to a day - I passed a lady walking and she seemed disappointed that the sun wasn't out yet, I guess she didn't feel quite the same!
ReplyDelete:D I wish you many mists!
