CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT MANTIS

CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT MANTIS In one hundred years I saw a thousand mantises on this Christmas Eve another descended unexpected gift for a northern Lightwave whilst I stared at singular Southern sky She reminded about stillness strategy soundlessness embodied etiquette empathy reflecting my mirrors we practiced prayers exchanging piety for piquant dreams from triangular head could I trust in timing Careful calm collected one leg up slowly shake observe turn head left turn head right Awareness quivers on awaiting angle divining a tiny trial of luck focus no fidget its Christmas Eve ChristLight announced from a darkly lucid mantis womb Her greenstick keys unlock patient portals to my Eternal Heart ©GhairoDanielsPoetry &Song2024
