Clever resourceful Celtic women of this generation
Tinkling instruments sounding in the forest wind
Deer and fox watch from afar
Elementally sound, a part of Mother Nature
Ominous drumming transmogrifies the females
There is a pounding urgency
Gaia feels their heartbeats
They are united in sisterhood
The fiddler player sings
Irish tenacity springs upon the wind
Coven of five shows their colors
Mystical secrets well-kept by generations of women
Their power animals stay hidden in the shadows
Magical forest dances with pride in her kin
Resourceful women come forth as a unit
Fear leads young men out of the shadows
There is terror of the female tribe
The fiddler player sings
Grounded are the feet that be in the elemental earth
Bounded we the legs that keep the motion of walks
Rounded is the dirt beneath as the pressure begins to mound
Founded the discovery to uncover knowledgeable talks
Sculpting melding seeping
The soil underground flowing heated molten
Melting shaping morphing
Formation created solid black rock ground
Steamy is the water of the magmatic oceans deep
Risen layers pillow topped stacked slowly in the chill
Solidifying new earthen life pushed through to a crusted rebuild
Slowly in the unseen depths where land is consuming sea
Wisps of wind waves whistle with gaseous fumes
Lofting liquid red as golden orange fissures spread bloody fires
Inches measured by millimeters mold metals magical blaze
Wild widening of gaps shallowly engraved a blackened glaze
Obsidian wasteland of a treacherous expanse gathered island life
Reflective surfaces weathered time breaking down rock to sand
Erosive washing of corrosive materials gritty consumed by forces of nature
Natural is the condensing of observatory images in the fluid eyes of man
Inspired by 'It's Elemental' By Carole Duet
Elementally Earth:
A speck of celestial matter as meaningless
to time and the universal whole
as a second is to infinity.
Still, this tiny glint of life
is essential to the transcendency of all that is
and should be treasured universally
for the objective reality of the art
and beauty of its Motherhood.
Its birth and poetic symmetry
balances the masterpiece of divinity.
Our task is
to grasp that significance.
A fathomless mystic charade
How alluring its serenade
Witness nature’s own masquerade
Mystique that cannot be portrayed
An entity most have betrayed
A spirit that must be obeyed
Awakened reflected cascade
Diaphanous and chaotic
Performance beyond hypnotic
Earth’s coryphée of erotic
Mistaken to be quixotic
A creature forcing psychotic
Its soul the purest narcotic
Intimate of all aquatic
Enigmatical their affair
Foxtrot brimming with debonair
Elementally torn despair
Amaurotic and unaware
Of essence’s lifeblood they share
Their fable ready to ensnare
Romance between water and air
Miranda:
talk to your restive soul,
elementally abstract.
Home –
was minimal comfort,
for the flying birds.
Clock,
to explode today
on your face.
You were eying
the bride,
in turbulent sky.
Who had
brought the moon
at Agave’s feet ?
