[ Prompt : I hold three magic rocks in my hand
   Rolling them over and over and over
   Leaving this reality behind, far behind ]

Once upon an ancient time
a magical journey undertook I

Orion

These past few weeks, 
Orion’s been making his steady descent down the horizon.
This occurs yearly,
one thing you can count on through the world’s unending turbulence.
It’ll never fail to throw you from your cushioned seat 
face-first into forced adaptation
and deep discomfort.
Will there ever be a time where I can look to the horizon
without seeing the next

My return to Orion 2

Return to Orion

My return too Orion, 
on an endless promise with no "best before" 
i reach out. 
I chose the colors of transit, from the pallet supplied; Violet over blue, deep grey fuelled by a white hot destiny! 
The rise then fall oh! how calm the now: 
No conection between its clock and the dust

See There Marches Orion

See there marches Orion
   With Sirius close at his feet
Tarrying not long in the air
   To begin the midnight hunt. 

His quickened breath congeals –
   His boots crunch the fallen snow –
His eyes attempt to discern
   Between tree and furtive shadow.

Mark the occasion and time

No conection between its clock 
and the dust of passing days. 
I attempt to slake a

Orion In the Heavens

When Apollo, God of Music, suspected his twin sister, Diana, Goddess of the Hunt, was involved in a romance with Orion, God of War, he tricked her into killing Orion. Heartbroken by what she had done, Diana transformed Orion  into a constellation to forever grace the night sky.

Orion in the Heavens,
A constellation as pure
As

The Green of Summer

Gone was the green of summer
though I never knew it so
wrapped in your mother's quilt
it never loved you more

Precious velvet ribbon dreams
left by a devoted lover
golden sunlit stitch in seams   
fingers touching light all over          

Caught watching an intimate moment
fiercely attentive to your task
long

Starseed: Orion

From Orion, this light has came. To traverse, around the Earth.
Hands glowing. What does is it mean, when they begin to beam!
From my hands, to my eye. My limits are as high as the sky.
Mission started: I am no ape; Can’t wait to whip this world into shape.
Here I come, you best be ready, I

Direct From Orion

Twinkle twinkle, little star, I wonder how I travelled sooo far.
From Orion, down to Earth, the white light, ever so bright.
Hands glowing, the colours of the rainbow.
I wondered what, oh what oh what, could these glowing hands could mean? Only for them to beam!
From my hands, to my eye. My limits are as high as

Edge Orion

Edge glanced at the night sky and gasped
A combination of stars caught his eye, stopped his heart
Recall of these three stars: the belt of course!
There were other stars....he must know...

He ran to his room, tore the picture off the wall
Holding the reference against the sky's backdrop
Indeed, they each were there, and found in turn
Now tears

Orion Is My Lover Now

Orion is my lover now
and will be till the winter’s done
The fickle sun can take a bow
Orion is my lover now
and I his winter field to plough
I yield.  The darkness has begun
Orion is my lover now
and will be till the winter’s done

Ballad of Orion

Orion the quick,
Orion the brave,
Orion was nothing
Once upon a day.

Surrounded by warriors
All beard and all bite.
Those surly, strong,
Of imposing sight.

Orion was hungry;
His soul chipped away,
From unending nights
And unfriendly days

Brave hero turned slave
To misfortune, was he bound
But Orion was patient
Though his luck run aground

A clamor rose westward,
Soft breeze on the gale.
There were tales of strange beasts,
And

Orion,A Sonnet

How cold you are, Orion, and how bright
Your belt of glittered stars, your hands and feet
As frost on stone and diamonds in the night
As ice on glass and statues in the street
I’m told you are a light from long ago
A huntsman froze before he made the kill
To rise in winter, rampant with his bow
To fall
