Brilliant article. Simply brilliant.

M.J.D/The river shall take me

The river shall take me. I am certain I have less to live than I can anticipate. I know now it is all over, and having no will to live, I greet death as a gentleman capable of rational thought, not as a lunatic I shall become in time. The river shall take me. AmongContinue reading “M.J.D/The river shall take me”

I shall sing/Taliesin

I shall sing to you of love, but will you hear me? To you my song shall fly, crossing high hills and wide waters – but will you know my voice? Years have passed, Taliesin, yet my heart still aches.

Godspouse/ Taken

Taken by the darkness, vanished in mist. Taken by the one clothed in black leather, silver silks and stardust. Taken never to return. Taken by the solstice, spirited away.

Godspouse/Vows renewed

Vows renewed by the fire, water and aspens. Vows renewed at the threshold. Vows renewed on midsummer’s Eve. Vows taken by the fire, skies and water,by the northern wind and the aspen boughs. Vows taken by my Lord and master, Vows taken by the one who hears.

The veil

I stand here, on the edge of the world, seeing nothing but the veil of mist, thick as sweet cotton, that my mother bought me once at the county fair. The veil so dense that there’s nothing before me, and all that once was there, behind my back, does not exist. The veil reminds meContinue reading “The veil”

Godspouse/Coolness

Coolness is what I am drawn to. Coolness of the breeze, coolness of the high grasses of faraway lands, coolness of the deep forest shadow. Coolness is what I miss most. Coolness of the mountain rivers, coolness of the winter songs, coolness of the gentle winds of the places I have never seen. Coolness isContinue reading “Godspouse/Coolness”

Godspouse/Behold the darkness

Behold the darkness. Feel it cover your shoulders, feel it crawl and creep around you. Behold the darkness. Behold the darkness. Follow its call, follow it to the edge of your personal boundaries. Behold the darkness. Behold the darkness. See it rise above you, see it spreading its wings before you. Behold the darkness. BeholdContinue reading “Godspouse/Behold the darkness”
