Will You Rise My Love
I write my wonder
My child wanders in a crustless cruel world nap-lands school of never-more pie turtle-dove left dry & high but in gentle lapping of pav’s lullaby watching from my windowless cart of confusion I write you my letters of wonder in hells sweltered skelter without condition — how will you rise my love
Tune in to rush, a caw — a warbling wordle die-cast from a tear so rare a soul so deep heads down push takes the fall blue moons last call back from black crowning returning the gift — last of lost innocence noon’s high time to rise my love
in an empty blue room spins a black-n-white tale “impossible” screams in the space in between pain of my fail chaos tall order pausing the strain of little remorse “what direction” I whale never more will I rise my love
when an open plain view vista’s a rescued royal blue mix when wise eyes burns bright a monkey sky bliss then what is taken becomes what is given
the greatest of prize is the greatest of love a morning star served on an open grill flame shares a carnival map high in the sky taking a liner on luxury’s lap
forever’s born wild naptime is seen been blazing sweet trails in sugar cane fields paying all fees returning all keys linner’s dessert roll from a luminous rush in a black-bird song ever more will rise to my love
🪶When our animal kingdom shares a yarn across all time barriers take a moment to rise to their loveდ
🪶Under the watchful gaze of luminosity—take a pause to breathe in a rescued land of enduring love დ
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who only dream at night — Edgar Allan Poe

To finish off, here is short snippet of crow, saying a very long good morning whilst raising his concerns which contributed to the desire to submit this piece…
Dedicated to our animal soul family, who continue to blaze invisible trails of enduring love across all time zones…with special mention & deep gratitude to Percy, Zola, Oscar, ‘Puppy’, Fonz and Golden Boy who have touched my heart with memorable messages and moments of loyalty, bravery, humor and love.
Sending a big thank you to Paroma Sen and Scrittura for her liberating poem & writing prompt, ‘The In-between Places” which further influenced the creation of this piece.
