Three in One

If I speak from this image

It's spicy and alluring
THE MAG




I came into being

on a night 
of celestial alignment.
Having
my eyes concealed
under 
an open sky 
thrown forth in a
 jungle
of  fraying
wilderness.
Across swollen dregs 
of summer woes
suspended days
and
sightseeing
 memories of you.



Part Two
Of this three in one
magpie arrives on the wings 
of one busy summer.
In the manner 
of three magpies in one.

Now I Lay Me Down 
Sleeping to Dream.






It felt like gentle springtime
if not for the dried up dreamers
not in bloom.
Lives
and vines coming undone
upon the first stumble
in this bed of  twigs and thyme.

Only yesterday 
comfort reigned 
and destiny's solidarity seemed
less like life peeling away from me. 

The dike of human happiness

has broken and 
as I lay down faceless, empty and all alone
I realize-



Auspiciously

I wait
like the bee, unlike humans
the future is all.
My singular purpose 
every notion
or motion inside me
is present for you.

 I couldn't let these three inspiring photos go without words.
Enjoy all of your moments!

Stunning way to combine them Karen! I've been busy too and didn't even make it to read this week. I've been doing a few Toads when I can. Enjoy your summer when you get a chance! Hugs!
