    Aelf​

    Pale blue pools of light burn,
    hot, under white trails falling
    out of the dark night.

    Whiter still what surrounds
    them, red blood on the snow,
    caught, wanton black fire.

    Blacker than black, onyx
    wings sail up and out, wild
    wind scorching the sky.

    Soul driven, a call sings,
    torrid with heat, awesome,
    sharp claws sunk heart deep.

    G'Night.

    I hope you had a good day.

    And a very bright, spectacular night!

    Happy (late) 4th of July.

    I hope you spent time with family, loved
    ones and/or friends, any combination.

    For such a small little neighborhood, it
    appears that many of the residents
    have guns. Either that or some maniac
    was running around the streets here firing
    away like mad.

    It happens every 4th of July and every
    New Year's Eve. I wonder where all
    the bullets go?

    Earlier...much earlier...there were all
    the little ones out on their driveways
    getting instructions on how to wave
    their sparklers properly. It is almost
    like everyone sets a timer, they all
    come out at once, seems like.

    Well, that was intelligent. Of course
    there was a timer...the sun went down.

    The full moon comes nigh. Another
    day or two.

    I am tired, and seek sleep. With that..


    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the world,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Deep in sleep, I hope sweet dreams come to you
    and bring you to bliss. May it stay with you when
    you wake up in the morning!

    Blessings and light,

    G'Night.

    I hope you had a good day.

    The moon waxes, full within hours.

    Rising, the heat left from the heart
    of the day meets the moon.

    What a bright night it is.


    To all who sleep on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    May the night find
    you safe and warm,
    sheltered in your dreams.

    And take you into
    the next day with
    no harm.

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a good day and that the front part of the night went well.

    Full moon tonight and I would normally be energized, but not this time. Too tired.

    But I hope you get some good out of it...and have a little fun. A shame to waste a
    full moon.



    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Send out your strength and positive energy
    to all those you care for, and it will come back
    three-fold. So 'they' say, and I do believe it.
    (Sometimes it takes a little time...but time is
    all we really have anyway.)

    And you will sleep better, too.

    Wake up to a new day...and continue your journey.

    G'Night.

    The full moon is upon us.

    Another early night for me.


    To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    The moon smiles on us all tonight.
    May it bring you sweet dreams and keep you warm.
    And the light bring you through to the morning.

    Blessings,

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a fine day and that the night follows suit.

    Rained all day here, but quit for awhile when I was driving home.

    Gorgeous sunset, magnificent colors, irradiated edges of clouds, brilliant rays, all that.

    Great music, hardly any traffic.

    Paid out a lot considering the amount of energy I expended at work.

    Moon is still huge, but starting to decline.


    To all who will sleep on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Sleep well and restore yourself.
    Wake up fresh in the morning.

    G'Night!

    the dance​

    day ends, night begins
    heaven rolls into hell
    looks around, takes a seat
    decides to stay for a spell

    the angels are aghast
    this cannot be they cry
    the demons move in fast
    whirling, arms held up high

    strange music fills the air
    black thunder drums the song
    honey sweet harps sing fair
    the hot red bells ring clear

    then in the dark night
    heaven rises, bows to hell
    hell bends down to the light
    yin and yang start to dance

    there is no heaven
    or hell, not any more
    only the smile dancing
    with the 2 on the floor

    I hope you had a good day and a better night.

    A few long hard days for me. Too many things
    to do, energy flying out everywhere, few resources.

    I'm never going to quit smoking again.

    But...I can breathe. So there's that.



    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Sleep well tonight and let your dreams
    talk to you, remind you of your goals,
    open the doors of insight, bring you joy.
    Whatever you need, you will find.

    Wake up and meet the day on it's
    own ground.

    G'Night.

    I don't know how to make these smaller, or I would.

    I hope you had a good day and the first part of the night.

    My day went much better today. Amazing what some sleep
    can do for you.

    No rain today, for a change. Clear blue, a few clouds in the
    afternoon, beautiful. And hot.

    The moon is still large in the night sky, but waning.


    To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Clear your head and your heart
    and let the moon's smile fill you
    up with light.

    Sleep well and long and get up
    tomorrow with new enthusiasm.

    G'Night!

    Late again. It's well into the next day.
    Hope the first part of the night went well.


    To all who sleep on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Sleep well.

    Wake up in the morning!

    G'Night.

    The Rose


    Rose petals lie on the sand
    scattered everywhere
    darkest red, almost black
    in full sun curling in the light.

    A hand holds the stem of all
    that is left of the rose and
    drops it to lay amongst
    the petals where it belongs.

    Blood drops follow it falling
    through the air prized out from
    the hand by the thorns that
    the sweetest roses always have.

    The wraith of time passes by
    scythe shouldered, plies its curse
    on the petals and blood
    and changes them to fine powder.

    Somewhere nearby a dark crow
    flies, calls and calls and calls
    the sound harsh, loud and cold
    as empty as the barren land.

    I hope you had a good day and that the night went well.

    Fairly clear skies today, until this evening when it finally rained...again.

    I like rain.

    I like the wind.

    I like just about everything weather-wise, but heat.

    No lizard, I. And I haven't seen one of the lizards for a long time now.

    Only fleeting glimpses of birds.

    Someone who is of Native American ancestry told me today that we all have
    2 spirit guides, or protectors. Animals. One predator, one prey. For balance.
    I was told some years ago that mine were a tiger and a hummingbird. But I
    didn't know the reference. That's interesting.

    I have been seeking balance for the last 6 months or so. And to all appearances
    have certainly not achieved it. Far from it, in my estimation. Lost in the maelstrom.
    But I was told today that I am much closer than I think. Apparently, if I can believe
    it, the balance beam swings wildest just before it settles. Defies reason. I can hope.


    To all who sleep on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    In the dark, meditate on the light, give it entry.
    Trust where you are at. Sleep and remember
    your dreams. And wake up with hope in the morning.

    G'Night.
