Autumn's flame

Autumn's Flame 

burns bright

Autumn's Wing

*

Summer gently falls

b e n e a t h

the Ancient breath of

 Autumn`s wing

a  new world summons

a labyrinth of seeds

soaking down the moon's release

 earthen womb full of mourning doves

Amber veils shimmering above

swallows circling the falling leaves

pressing stars between their beaks

upon the waters,  feathers drift on

echoing through like haunted swans 

wild branches 

carved like thrones

of crimson oak and mossy stones

ruby leaves and parchment poems

calling all the forest souls

bleeding colors, shining like bones

till the white raven

falls quietly alone

Autumn Poems

Summer Kings

and Autumn Queens

Nature dancing
t h e   I n b e t w e e n

still much fire, light and breath

till Winter sweeps it's spell of death

but only hidden for a time

the Earth asleep with paling light 

the mask of dreams

will fall
a w a y

as mother
r e w e a v e s

the darkened maze

the Spring will rise 

a torch 

of silver rain

the sun will shatter 

the sleeping cage

where death once lived

the light will now reign

the flora and forests

shall awaken again

Visual elixirs~
Blue Morning Glory, Red Maple Leaf and Sunflower

Birch Spirit in shadow
and draped in many moons

Each season
lights a sacred flame
to embody all
the gifts of change 
wind
water
fire 
& earth
enchants the Spirit 
of rebirth
Spirals shift
Magic ignites
the Eternal Ether
 of Infinite Light

there

in the blink 

of beautiful eyes

gentle dragon 

she was last seen

dragging stars across 

a morphing sky

soft and serene

d y i n g

beneath the rainfall

and crumbling leaves

lining 

the swolllen earth

with a final kiss

the apple broke 

into a five-pointed

s  e  e  d

scarring my bones 

with light,

 wisdom

and the breath

of her immortality

eternal-spiral~skin
one night of fireflies and wine I wandered
through the tall sweetgrass
my skin fell away into colored shards of mica
the sky swallowed me whole
as though I were an offering
I felt the cosmic mists
take hold and whisper to me within
dancing through like wild dragonflies
a divine collision,  spirals and tails
sliding down an endless spell of Moons
i carry the memory as a child now gone
and still I cling to molten stars
still i dream of worlds afar
I never could quite see your face
but it has always belonged to my heart
it carved a sacred meadow through
 my soul
and returned me
through spheres of pinks and gold
shimmering skins
fastened with light
a vessel pours me back to life
starry elixir
stitched into my hand
I awake beneath the Birch, glass and sand.

The Blue Tree

lost world

blue tree

a place I used to know

then a bird flew through my mind

and I was free to go

lost world, blue tree

path without end

the amber bird took my tear

 the forest began to mend

lost world, blue tree 

a place I used to roam

a stormy bird

tore at my cage

and gathered up my bones

lost world, blue tree

buried my heart alive

Autumn  bird scraped away the dirt

so I could feel the light

lost world, blue tree

the sun began to breathe

drowning bird sang her spell

to enchant a world for me

lost world, blue tree

the darkness moved away

black bird released her wings

so I would no longer be afraid

lost world, blue tree

my mind quelled and free

swollen bird

saved my life

gave all her breath to me

lost world blue tree

a place I used to know

a broken bird

flew through my mind

so I could get back home

~victoria pettella~

* the power of your spirit is immeasurable

never give up , the strength within you 

will always take you back home*

dedicated to anyone who has ever climbed the blue tree

*

Wishing you a beautiful day

I keep you in the mists of my memory

i keep you in the mists 

of my memory

there 

we can dream

there 

you will be safe

I keep you in the mists

of my memory

and i will hold you 

there

till I am 

erased
