Through the air
light pours like water
from the vessel of the sky
and through the air flows the
sharp, sweet scent of grass
and the darker sweetness of
newly turned soil
so many ways
to find home

This really resonates with me, along with the poignant poppy about to burst into flower. Lovely, as always, MB.
(o)
love this for its observation and for its echoes
thank you
so many ways to find home...how true. This is a lovely post, MB
I can smell that grass now! by the way I tried your recipe for the spinach salad that you posted on my blog. Truly yummy!!!
Once again, this is a perfect crystal of a poem. Beautiful!
Toes?
Oh, this encapsulates the sense of home beautifully.
My soul has missed your words; thank you for this treat!

(and photo of California poppy, yes). Must bookmark your site so I don't lose you in the vast rush of blogs everywhere.
exquisite!
I like the first two lines enormously

Jarvenpa, welcome and thanks for stopping by. It's a western (or as they say here, waistern) thing, I suppose.
Polona, thank you so much!
TG, sometimes it just seems that way! And I love it when it does.
Eileen, I deleted your comment to forefend against the spiderbots that crawl the web. Spam filter??

ah, sweet rich earth and cool grass... scents reaching deep into my being. thank you for this. as always... extraordinarily beautiful and moving.

I like the length with the picture. Its fits.
I love the way you disintegrated into the air, and then reassembled to write this piece.
Hey there MB, love the vessel and pouring imagery, and you've again sent a small harmonic ripple up my spine, as these are redolent of Kabbalistic symbolism.
Gershom Scholem, Aryeh Kaplan, and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi will give you ample places and points of view to explore, I think.
I've been wandering through mythic and transformational pastures for a while -- always a good place for me to reset my creative energy...
TTFN!
You have a beautiful blog here. Soulful poems and stunning photographs.
absolutely stunning. the first two lines create such a picture for me and the others evoke the smells perfectly.
home. soul. you found it.
Those final lines really take me there. Thank you.
This is quite beautiful.
"Darker sweetness" -- love that.
A hell of a backspin on this one :-)
This is beautiful.
"so many ways to find home."
