Saffic Passage

Sapphic Passage

Flower crystals–– rosemary mindful, suffers
chosen struggle, triangle, silent motion
closing center, vertigo's quiet entrance.
Nuances   speak soft.

Open window, fluttering curtain rapture,
silent spiral, miracles easy keeper––
cedar spirit, centuries mindful fragrance,
heart    in its passage.

Angels enter willingly. Bending earthward
sing their anthems joyously...follow  the song...
yet, I tremble. This is too soon for endings 
hold me   in this now.

Transitioning through internal struggle, spiritual movement, and flow of time are delicate moments. Your poem closes with a tender, desperate plea to remain anchored in the safety of the present moment. Very nice, Allegra. I enjoyed it - Christopher Haywood
