The Blessing Day

Once upon a time, there was a maze, with fruit tree borders, and Angels and Fairies would skip and play hide and seek among these trees, together. When they were weary, they would lay down amid the soft clover and listen. The trees would beckon them to be still, as they told their stories about the frozen ones with beating hearts, and the blessing day.

Up in the Rowan tree
a tawny owl sits; still
indifferent to all the ruckus
on the forest floor
there, in a clearing
is a bronzed woman
with water flowing up
from her mouth
and flowing over
her beautiful form
she has been showered
in colourful jewels
i watch her keen
as she reaches to the sky
she whispers my name
to hear my name
upon her lips is heaven to me
as my name was once
unmentionable
coloured tassels and one teardrop
watch over the balms of touch
i am reverent to the gifting
watch the maid-made
maze and remember the
stories back home about
how they like to lure
the boys in there
take their watches
and get them lost
forever
