Now of the delightful Court of Heaven
I sign intermittent, love letters
To the Universe, to the fragrant memory
Of the holy life, sacred feeling –
I kiss the shinning joyous martydom
Of brief mortality, or the moon
Or my heart, the blue stained glass
Of experience, little blue reflections
Of dreams, that passed like hours of doom
That I love without conscience
To uplift my time in transparency
The oceans more blue than eternity
Made in the manner of Japanese
Accepting all requests, all signs
Of the most exquisite temperament
When I this morning made my way
I sigh intermittent, deep breaths
For hope and faith, as wearing a blue gown.

I really like this one 😉
Yes it’s going for a spiritually open twist!
That’s pretty cool. I was reading some Joseph Campbell and he mentioned that poets he evoke religious imagery do really well because they have a ready made set of powerful metaphors to twist, play with, use, etc. I thought, yeah that really matches my experience.
Yes every poet is creating a subjective version of their own “Hero’s Journey”, some personal narrative that creates meaning for them I suppose 😛
Ah, your familiar with Joseph Campbell?
The imagery is beautifully intricate. Really nice
Thanks Contingency, I find the more I write the more I work with images.
You are welcome.
Freedom
