La Evasion De La Oiseau Bleu
"L'évasion L'oiseau Blue"
An exodus of dreams
like a flock of beating wings
melt upwards into endless sky
there the unreachable,
the bluest blue
of dreams so high
fleeting upwards ever upwards
the call below pulls in its nets
the fleeing mind and breath
washes back in, listen -
the ceaseless
cajoling sigh,
the turquoise summoning,
as above so below
the firmament reflection
of clouds watched magnetised
gliding memories turn swift,
the floating shifting messages
blue birds sing sweetly
through higher passages
to Sun and Moon
kingdom's eclipsing
the path mapped
like a well-planned escape
a premeditated
back-up plan
fate taken up
like destiny, released
by the hungry cries
of haunting channels
possessed, the return,
replete for shrives
upon command
of the commensurate,
The Beloved
Ocean tide
whispering secrets
like to a homesick bride
consuming
life and love
the hungry cries
of haunting channels
la evasion de la oiseau bleu
possessed, the return
replete
for shrives
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
L'oiseau bleu
The lake lay blue below the hill.
O'er it, as I looked, there flew
Across the waters, cold and still,
A bird whose wings were palest blue.
The sky above was blue at last,
The sky beneath me blue in blue.
A moment, ere the bird had passed,
It caught his image as he flew.
(Mary Elizabeth Coleridge)
