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)
