#NatureSpeaks: 30 #Poems in 30 Days โ€“ Day 16: Divine Flight, by Jaya Avendel

I curve toward the milky way

A bird on aliferous wing

Threads cut from cabaret stocking trace

Patterns onto my skin.

The silver bell chimes sharp and mournful

I celebrate the ascendance toward divine

Goddess of love opens the way to heaven

Her blood red rose and sunset eyes

Invite me in.

Cosmic garden blossoms from bone

Water lily rides the coattails of the moon

When I inhale, I taste the world.

It sings to me.


Divine Flight was inspired by the poem Cosmic Arts. You can read more of Jayaโ€™s poetry at Nin Chronicles.


Submissions are still open for the Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow: 30 Poems in 30 Days Collaboration. The submission details are located here.

I give my heart to you

drinking in the sea water, I hear the bell toll, and,
indeed, itโ€™s my heart you stole

with a second glance, just the kind of romance,
making stories appear
much more than circumstanceโ€ฆ

I give my heart to you, as you walk from the sand,
into a land, ill-defined,
and yet, part of the current storylineโ€ฆ

waiting with bated breath,
your hand again clasps mineโ€ฆand

in that moment, we realize,
just how much love is left in the world
when weโ€™re togetherโ€ฆ

is divineโ€ฆ
