Welcome to Gaia! ::

1.

This is the aftermath,
the morning after the storm.
We sit quietly;
speaking only of chores to be done.
Honey spread so thinly,
we're investing in silence.

2.

Sedna dwells at the bottom of the ocean,
counting her fingers,
counting her creatures.
She who is far away from all the others,
unable to touch the presence of another,
is tonight, the one I bow before.

3.

Every night Venus shines
brighter than the rest of the sky,
to remind us that love rules the Underworld.
The pulse hidden in Dark Energy
belongs to Aphrodite and her heavenly choir
that always let the o's drag.

4.

We can no longer feel the trembles
of a cosmic earthquake we took for granted.
Our hearts beat to a drum so quiet,
the crickets never cease chirping.
Paris died under the weight
of a microphone.

5.

We could plan a volcano
but I'm telling you the magma
would freeze over at the sight of our door.
It wouldn't dare move towards this log cabin
that has been stripped of its voice;
silenced by two arctic hearts.

I had a dream two nights ago where I was in a warehouse looking at boats. One of the boats had a moon on the front of it and a voice said "The moon is afraid to come out at night in case she gets lost in space."

Last night I dreamt that I went to visit my father in the hospital as it appeared as though he was about to die.

A couple weeks ago, I had a dream where I applied to return to school. A vote was taken. The response was, "Yes. The vote is to keep Remy aligned with the dead."

And then there was the dream where I was told to find a book on lizards...

Or the King who asked me if "the west was free?"

Every night is a new piece to that lifetime puzzle.

That was beautiful. I could see everything happening...even though I didn't understand what it was about. I like the first and second and third verses best...and the crickets. Wonderful; not quite as cryptic as your usual pieces, but just as good.
