Down From Heaven

So often I write with my eyes closed, waiting. Hands poised over the keys (of my laptop), ready. Heart quiet in restful calm or pounding in passionate inspiration, and Spirit open, willing, questing, seeking, listening, as the words and images come tumbling down. Down from Heaven, down from the sweet, sparkling heavens, down from the clouds of thundering rain, down from the mountaintop, down from the breathless moon and silken skies.

There I am, an open vessel; a cracked vase that cannot hold this rushing flood, yet I can channel it, directed it into the pages of my memory, (and my blog!) As I sit quietly, waiting; or desperately trying to keep up with the rushing torrent, my spirit sings the sweetest tune I have ever heard. And, though I cannot physically hear it, though I cannot listen to the manifestation of music like I do when I connect to my playlists, I hear the serenade as clearly as that faltering music. The melody comes down, Down from Heaven, down from the sweet, sparkling heavens, down from the clouds of glittering glow, down from the bastion towering o’re the rushing ocean’s flow.

Eyes closed, waiting. Heart Quiet, listening. Spirit Willing, Questing. All for the lyrical beauty that spills like an endlessly cascading fall of sparkling water from that inestimably breathtaking Source. Typing, typing as fast as I am able, unconcerned about spelling, punctuation, context, verbiage. I sit in humble wonder as the blessed words pour Down. Down from Heaven. Down from the Sweet, Sparkling heavens. Down from the rainbow of jubilant Promise arching over all of us. Down from the crystal cerulean skies as they weep blessed words, and I am left to cry.

Cry at the beauty expressed through my hands. Weep for the Love, I hope ONE may understand. Cry in joy for the unspeakable gift that raises my life from the darkest rift into which I had fallen for many long years. A rift flooded with unshed tears. Yet now those tears flow down like rain. Down without the crushing pain and they speak in a voice so many can hear, they speak quietly, yet they speak clear. They rush and they flow like the ocean’s roar, like rain falling down in a heavy pour. Down, down, Down From Heaven, Down from the Sweet Sparkling heavens, Down from the Stars that shimmer and glow, Down in a jocund, rejoicing, inexpressible flow into which I am cast, like a fisher of words. And Casting my net, I haul them in to be heard.

Stepping Stones – NaHaiWriMo

Memory Speaking

Dreams and Fear, Passion, Fury

Stepping Stones Through Time

~Morgan~

Written for National Haiku Writing Month, which is teaching me to focus on the Emotion of the Haiku as well as the Season from which the Emotion springs.   Today my thoughts are centering more on the Season of Time, considering what emotions these walls once witnessed, and what secrets they might tell.

Love Remained

There in the shadows of Illusionary Calm,

Marked by Mute Pain and Liberal balm,

The Heart that Resides in the drifting array

Of Stars Far from Home, bleeds every day.

Capture the Moment of Intrinsic Time

That questions the Birth of Harmonious Rhyme,

And let not the Pallor of Fear overshadow

or devise lies that will steal Joy and harrow.

Mark the Good Morrow of Winsome Light

That Sails in the Winds of Unbroken Night,

Raise your Banner in the Infinite Breeze

And Smile at the Echo of Laughter it Frees.

Sing in the Merry Halls of Blazing Glory,

And never look back at the unfinished story

Of loneliness and hidden tears,

Of long hallow Moments and shapeless years.

Awaken to the Glimmer of Newest Day,

Answer to all those Pleas that you Pray,

And Walk into Promise that Infinitely Sings,

That Gives Newest Life, that Bears you up on its Wings.

Tomorrow is Hidden, Today is Truth,

Sparkling Joy in Unquestioning Proof

That Love Stands Fast, Ever Waiting it’s Chance,

Even after falling under Cruelty’s Lance.

Rejoice and be Immeasurably Content,

For Love Remained while the world was rent

And twisted, turning upside down,

And Love dried the tears of your most bitter frown.

Life Breathing – NaHaiWriMo

 

Life Breathed through your Shade

 

Shade then Overshadowed Life

 

Yet Life Breathes Anew

Written for National Haiku Writing Month, which is teaching me to focus on the Emotion of the Haiku as well as the Season from which the Emotion springs.   Today as I was Perusing the WordPress Reader I came upon a post by Paul Militaru:  This Beautiful photograph entitled ” Ex-Tree”, which immediately sparked my Inspiration to consider how once this tree stood, living, breathing; yet even now in its Silence, it provides for Life and Breath again.

Friday Fantasy – Story

Softly spoken Story

Shouting Loud upon the Breeze,

Whispering Imagination

As it Inescapably Frees

All I know and Wonder;

Every Marvel I e’er could Dream;

Temptation and Oblation;

Mystery beyond what is shown or Seen.

What Story does it Speak to you?

Is it Whispering or Shouting Loud?

Are the characters Docile,

Or Bold and Immutably Proud?

Does the Story Stir your Mind,

Filling you will Dread or Bliss?

Whose Heart will become Entwined?

Which Player will you Ever Miss

Once the Story has finally Unfolded?

Will you be Glad to have Embraced the Tale?

Was it a short-lived Inspiration

Or will it Abide in an Epic Scale,

Stirring your Imagination,

Setting you Adrift upon the Ocean of Dreams?

This Softly Spoke Story

Speaking on Enigmatic Themes.

Long Night – NaHaiWriMo

Long Night of Winter

Transition going Unseen

Sleep Soft and Dream Sweet

~Morgan~

.  Written for National Haiku Writing Month, which is teaching me to focus on the Emotion of the Haiku as well as the Season from which the Emotion springs.  In order to challenge myself, I am opening Google Image Search under a subject, such as Winter, Snow, Calm, etc.; I am selecting the first image that Inspires a thought and writing my Haiku on it.  Today I thought the word “Sleep” such as the deep, hibernation through winter not only of animals, but plants as well, and the renewal that happens unobserved.
