[Joan Miro art, from google.com]

In This Space

With a boom, bang bang, boom;

The Old Year’s gone away;

To nothingness and night i pace

Myself to sleep; to dream, to wander,

For here is where freedom lies;

My fairies, my guardian angels,

My elders all gone before me meet.

To dance, to win battles, to feast,

To question and to promise.

And in this space,

Without the celebratory noise

Trying to mark time into sections -

For really, time only continues -

It is the awakening, leaving the dream,

That cuts through space and time.

Helplessness of tying together time and realms -

Maybe that is why

We created clocks and calendars

Silent beauty, Taenaris catops;

Do you sleep in the day like an owl ?

For only a short while your life hops,

Almost one third of a year is enough.

Silky to the touch Taenaris catops,

Forest and marshes you inhabit,

For those mimicking eyes to pop.

Wouldn't you prefer meadow flowers?

Or sampling farmer's crops?

Or ravaging through farmyard sops?

Guess you are just Taenaris catops.

Rain and rain and more rain. To round off The Rainy Season, to add a contrast background to Caribbean Christmas trees sparkling and blinking, indoors and outdoors.

The choice to be festive like the Christmas trees transfering your hope into the radiance of lights, or go for the gloom the misty grey clouded mornings, seeping depressed days into the soul.

rainy season ending

with 9misty morning clouds -

Christmas trees blinking
