Talking Body

by Maple Tree   Apr 20, 2015


My body lays still.
such as a calming
hush of night.

Webbing within darkness
hangs a leather,
catcher of dreams
from
my ancestors of old.

I travel the universe
within stars and moon,
veiled and shielded
from an entity of evil
assuming he can feast
upon the visions trapped
within my frailty.

Messages encircle beaded
medallions, feathers remain
unseen, while I dangle upon
a crescent moon.

My body becomes a host,
for speaking with ghosts-

asleep; sleeper of dreams,
caching the haunted upon
a feathery pillowed
rhapsody.

    The third stanza and the imagery inherent is mind-blowingly good in this piece. It is all excellent, but that particular stanza I found mesmerizing.
    Another beautifully written and accomplished piece, Andrea.
    All the very best, Ben
