The Lioness ~ She who guards the entrance to the Sky

Long ago
in an ancient land
a young woman
shaped beautiful words
weaving stories
from threads of despair

She offered
her beautiful sadness
a sacred imagination
 and crafting songs,
 incanting tales of magic
she saved her life
and the lives of those she loved

...her name was Scheherazade.

Scheherazade knows 

the Lioness - 

the one who guards the entrance

that opens the sky

The Lioness knows

a path through the clouds

that unveils the journey

and unveils our dreams

Scheherazade knows

to weep at the door

offering her tears

the Lioness will drink

the salted darkness of her grief

The Lioness knows

and knowing transforms-

the taste of beauty in sadness

 these tears become songs

this sorrow will become stories of light

Scheherazade knows

the Lioness

who guards the entrance 

to our dreams

The Lioness knows

for healing

for beauty

for love

she will open the door.

Scheherazade enters
the sky of the Lioness
releasing
breath of grief
opening
the deep imagination
where sorrows
become wings
circling
closer
into
light.

Imagination ~ The World of Shadows and Light

 ~~~~ 

~

There is union between light and darkness

 a mosaic of shadows

 edged with patterns of light

each is necessary to the other

we are not certain where one begins 

and the other ends

We must acquire a taste for deep places

that we may know the sky

and remember the nature of flight

As the world of imagination 

quietly sings to each of us

and a familiar wind opens

our secret pathways home

Clouds are painted 

into patterns of heaven

revealing stars

and prayers

and doorways

to the other world

May this prayer sing

and bring a gentle wind 

allowing flight 

returning all things

to indigo

and the breath of stars.
