AtlasLove is the weight of the universe…
a massive thing,
ten kilograms raised to the sixtieth power.
Probably more.
(Scientists haven’t even begun to estimate its heaviness.)

It presses on our shoulders;
crushes us into the bedrock
—again and again—
we lie as dust under the vasty wheel
until a wind stirs up
a soul to recreate us.

All those lightyears of space and time,
the endless abyss of dark matter:
shroud us,
wait for our response
as we rise anew each day
from the ground.

The galaxy is a great spiral with its focus on man.
He staggers and it tilts;
the center of gravity shifts
with every step.
We reach out toAtlas by ~solaric

WinterIn darkness your figure moves against the fire,
Alive in dancing flickers, shooting sparks
Like comets in the night: glowing they aspire
Amid the falling snow. The eye marks
The contrast; the flakes aslant in the furnace glow
And hiss on ardent steel. A fog is breathed
Into the night, ascending in a curling flow
Toward the high pines. We two are wreathed
In this atmosphere: cold fills our lungs
And melted snow gathers on hair and coats.
This is winter, when flame climbs the rungs
Of heaven’s stair and misty vapor floats
Like mystic symbols drawn for us to read
Alone in the night, where quiet peace is freed.Winter by ~solaric

AutumnOld roan horse
come up from the river:
plant each foot
to blossom the cold
in shining, spangling frost.

Swayback bowed
in season, you have
no protest—
slow clip, swing step,
you keep your suitable rhythm

Fanciful
your smattering coat;
colors peek
between quicksilver
and flame to red in the sun.

True, you're old,
but growing graceful.
Shimmer bright
inlay on your bones:
your skin is a royal mantle.

There you move
a horse in the field:
misty shape
from dreams of glory,
you are the color of the end. Autumn by ~solaric

Dream in the LightA waking dream,
her own since youth:
metamorphosis of the human
after the pattern of butterflies.
In fullness of time
growing wings,
she takes flight,
learns the joy of motion
through limitless space.

She can sense the vision
as reality.
Back opens and like saplings
the strong muscles and bones
unfurl to wings,
soft feathers sprouting,
curling, strengthening
to pinions in demand of flight.

Woman-grown, imagination
reawakes with her journey,
sweeping the long curves
of fallow earth and field
with the speed of horses
and the passionate heart of the wind.

Oh, now her wings are born
and carry her miles and miles
to the Dream in the Light by ~solaric

Ode to NaPoWriMoApril is the cruelest month,
thought Eliot
as he stood by the windowsill
and watched the sun
peek hesitantly over the horizon.
Little specks of green
sprinkle the lawn,
soon to sprout daisies.
The earth is cool and thick
under fingernails,
brown spots on knees.Ode to NaPoWriMo by =HillsOfMyst

Recently I've put a few poems in storage in my deviation gallery, because I've been lucky enough to have them published in a new, up-and-coming journal, The Lost Country. Please head over and check a few of them out, here [link] and here [link]. The journal will be taking submissions until August 2013 for the next issue, in case anyone is interested.

My blog continues to go well, too - take a peak at Balancing Act, if you like!

Cheers!

Sorry for the delay in this - DA only let us make 20-100 comments/day, depending on the speed of one's posting, then one gets a message "DA server think this is spam", we have to log off DA, wait a few hours, log back in, can then send more messages - until the "spam" message AGAIN! Ugh!

Thanks for the fav of my photo "Old Man Walking"! [link]
