Do we remember poetry and desire, come eternity?
embrace old rhythms of green and lingering life,
a brilliant blush,
a fired heart—
listen to this blue salt ocean, Fool,
the angel said,
magic lies here, there, all about and after
it dances and laughs, surrounding you like perfume–
go breathe peace and heal

I’m in the midst of crazy writing and editing. The Oracle knew just what to say. I added some punctuation. I hope she doesn’t mind.

So peaceful and joyful at the same time…
The Oracle left me with a similar (if much more brief) feeling this morning…hope to get it posted later.
And wonderful painting too. (K)
Thanks, Kerfe. I will look for yours later! 🙂
Now that it is a wonderful message! Bravo to the Oracle, and good luck with the editing—she certainly gave you a good dollop of encouragement there 🙂
Thank you, Jane. Yes, she did. 🙂
I hope she has some soothing words for me too…
Oh, I hope so, too!
I’ll ask, very nicely.
Yes, you don’t want to provoke her. 😉
First one is ‘stormy’. I’m trying again.
Hahaha.
Lovely. So glad the Oracle came through for you. 🙂
Thank you, Robin–I am, too. 🙂
“the blue salt ocean”….beautiful, Merril.
Thank you, Holly. 🙂
This is beautiful. I can here by way of Robin, and I’m glad I stopped by 🙂
I’m glad you did, too. Thank you very much for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment!
The oracle is wise: words that will keep you going, hopefully!
Thank you very much, Mary. I hope so! 🙂
You breathed life into this one, Merril
Thank you, Derrick.
The Oracle really delivered!
Thank you, Ken. 🙂
So light, so ethereal. Wonderful!
Thanks so much, Charlotte!
Lovely words, Merril! I would so love to breathe in the perfume of peace and heal.
Thank you, Rose. The Oracle certainly came through!
I loved this one with all its heart and emotions expressed. When eternity comes, I hope we still have poetry, not sure about desire. . . maybe? Seems an earthly passion.
The ocean’s voice in “old rhythms” speaking of “green and lingering life” was gorgeous, Merril. I can hear how this just flowed out of you! Peace and healing be with you, too. 🕊
Thank you very much, Robin. The Oracle really came through for me with this one! 🙂
Thank you for the time you take with reading my posts! I appreciate it. ❤
