Cosmic Beauty

~cosmic beauty ~ lunar spells ~

In Moonlit dreams

she appears to me

silver scarred and beautiful

and her crystal blue shadows drift upon 

my inner cosmos

they pierce the veil

to heal my lingering soul

🌛🌟

poems that hover between garden, moon and soul

 an infinite longing

lunar spirits

all I ever wanted...

she is moon

what the soul wants...

poems that hover 

between garden, moon 

and soul

She guides me home

she guides me home

Even the moon

knows

I am alone

and in her light

I feel embraced

less afraid

she calls my name

she guides me home

~victoria pettella~

she guides me home

she guides me home

she guides me home

I am home

*

There are those quiet moments

that stand out to you and only you

those solitary spaces you inhabit alone

you travel into them deeply

and restlessly

 Hands reaching out into the unknowable realm

tears releasing a vibrant strand from the sequence of pain

untying an imperative seam from your frail, stitched being, 

the flesh that is still somehow holding itself together

unfurls itself into beautiful chaos and freedom

Your soul summons a true offering, 

giving your heart to the night cauldron of stars

Beneath a wild Goddess moon

I wrote a diary inked in black walnut
and dragon's blood
 chanted aloud in luminous tongues

 moon , after moon after moon

A vessel of poems pouring the drink

of broken places and the ashes of dreams

of endless wounds and every remedy

questing for signs

she answered me

she answered

me

And in that space of eternal longing

she called my name, 

she took me into her arms

and I was home.

Her breath became my breath 

sealing all the lost caves, cuts
and tattered forests from the inside 

and then weaving all the way
through the skin with her living Light

 like a radiant spark 

that returned itself to me.

The piece that was always there

That sacred piece of me 

that I am 

to never 

ever 

let go.

~victoria pettella~

I 

am 

home

1 part sky, 1 new moon ~

1 part sky, 1 new moon


☀ ♌ 🌑

note to self

when feeling lost
take
1 part sky
1 new moon
fold them both into your heart
push deeply
until the stars burn themselves in
and like seeds of new life
they will conjure worlds (you need to go to)
places that belong only to you
hold onto them, every single flashing seed
even as hurricanes set in
let them burrow inside
till your tongue tastes of lightning

remember above all
you are the fire ( your blood sparks wildfires of courage)
you are the sky ( and it opens to all sacred realms)
you are the moon ( and your bones carry her love)
and soon you will become the earth
(solid, grounded, rooted, embedding life-force within; you are home)

the changeling winds will bless the dark things with flight
they will escape into freedom and healing
the gardens will die inward and rebloom a new book of spells
where each tree and flora speak their ancient song
and birds can sense that your soul has grown wings
and they will teach you how to harvest from your deepest root
and how to ride on spherical wisdom with instinct and bliss
sometimes there will be rain, madness and strange storms
but you will be able to feel the sweetness in the changes
and the bright galaxies flooding in
there will be blessings born of pain and hurt
and your body shining in all colors; will be summoned to dance
unclothed and free

nothing can stop
a summer full of lions clawing down the roaring sun
or a grateful heart that births a meadow of tigerlilies
your nights will drip with serene spells of love
and profound renewal will begin to spill over your being like a waterfall
you will not shake, nor be afraid to live
and your Solar Return will strengthen you to radiate with victory
magic restored,  witchery in bloom
you are unchained
and wild
as nature
you are both bruised and beautiful
and you have found your song to sing.
