Prompt :"A crimson sky breaks the distant shore" Sponsor : Joseph May Submitted: 20/5/25 Placed : 4th CRIMSON SKY A crimson Sky breaks the distant shore stargates opened veils upon veils portals portending lyrical lemon drops or so it seemed since senses were lost in open labyrinth lots angels poured purple pearls lacing comely camomile into timeless space I heard old lions roar below an empty nest though my ears gone, where was nippy nose to smell woohoo fields so fragrant with bergamot to sneeze? I who knew me was no more ego, identity, avatar were not words I had to tick in boxes ______I had become observer-listener-knower transparent as cellophane Veins and arteries slithering earthworms d a n c i ng in S k y free from flesh or blood to run graciously they murmured : ‘What is to be done, is to be done’ I remembered a text by Lenin called ‘What is to be done’ it seemed centuries ago here time had no grids, axis numbers or clocks, experiences were points on l u c i d spirals flashing tiger lilies beckoned on another byway sensations, spinning signatures along country alleys forming new Rivers of Life different degrees of L o v e which competed not with glamoured goals I realised crimson Sky lessons are taught this way facets, strings, knots were muddles for mind to untangle, create flower-of-life patterns mitochondria float below or above or omniversal, to a single destination ~ ME, I, ALL, the Imperishable ~ who gifted our offerings His frequencies, fluting cherries on top Keep facing forward said Sugarbird the journey inward proliferates doubt con fusion, p l a y hide and seek ~ disconnect these convolutions ~ narrow focus to inside locus shaped like Cullinan diamond curved _____ “ignore demons or demi-gods with malachite earrings, poppy pendants or entreaties about historical distractions” this was Silver Cloud speaking through all your winters purpose is Spring crimson Sky collapsed, distant shore dissolved a crescent moon fragment landed in my sunset H e a r t I c i r c l e d hammock with glittering crimson
