Forever wild and free

Near the tiny row of ghost-flowers

a cricket perches its wistful-song as an offering

a ruby moth hovers by my pale neck

adorning me with forest-incense

I sit with sword & amulet by my heart, waiting

as a velvet-blood-sunset lights the tangled land

there are bonfires in the distance
but I remain low to the ground
reading the moss, bark and stone
for hidden language
searching from half-deep sleep
and visions to render my hovering mind
I dream alone~ questing within.
The night is shaking down
the dark womb of trees~their wavering leaves
 to answer me

a single breath emits
a dripping moon
transiting over my soul's bones
and leaving me open
for the young wolves to take
they gently eat my wounds
and make me new again.

the morning crashes in
  a kingdom of starlings
and I awaken with the scent of the amber sun
and the taste of dragons falling off my tongue
the flesh of me glistens like light underwater
and I know I am different somehow
for falling
feels like flying
and I cannot stop my dreaming eyes
from wandering off the seams
of death and life

I am feasting on the beauty
of jeweled earth and wet bark
and the green-lace of summer leaves
shimmering high above
I climb, they are calling me
I keep climbing towards the voices
until I feel the forest and flesh
slip away from me
and I know only
feathers and air
a gust of breath
  and I become One
with the wind's sacred embrace
I am forever wild
 and
I am
free.
