LIFE AT THE EDGE (photo) & PRAYER TO THE EDGE (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

PRAYER TO THE EDGE

thank you for the frozen times,
for the times when nothing
changes or can be changed;
for they offer the opportunity
to be thoroughly engaged by
the treasure of the now,
the chance to be wholly
here before we're
tumbled
willy-nilly
and headlong
over
the cliff edge
into the new,
into
the unknown
of another
tumultuous
rebirth


[non-dream free verse poem written 4-6-17. As mentioned in an earlier post, I've been pulling a Rune a day, in the early morning. Today's Rune was Isa, which is the Rune of ice and the frozen. This poem came out of that and what I felt/thought as I stood at the beach overlook fence at mid-day. After which I tossed a bit of a flowering branch into the ocean while visualizing a pentacle of thank you's. BTW, it was also a very chilly walk to/from the overlook today. :-) Sometimes oracle/divinatory systems address the obvious things we miss in our search for great significance.

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
