As Samhain draws near
The Morrigan waits my prayer
The veil thins once more

#curdle milk
#gloom in the room
midnight howls
outside my window
break the quiet

#bark of a tree
lands soft
#ash on the ground
#candid stars
i watch alone

shadows stay
wind touches
a broken heart
all is still
yet all is gone

Hello Wild walkĺ

Sat on the roof of a small shed, and staring off into the sunset.
Cats seem to have all the patience In the world... sometimes.

Let me candid,
let me be clear,
I will be thorough,
deep and sincere

you cannot own me
I am not your possession
you cannot control me
please stop your obsession

Let go
Let go
or you’ll crush me for good

Let go
Let go
just do what you should

How to prepare a
Country for invasion, first
Step, spread confusion.

Step two, disable
All cohesive government
Functions, sow mistrust.

Step three, fan the flames
Of fear, kick down the doors of
The social contract.

Step four, while panic
Undulates, sit back and wait,
Winter's power cuts.

During our
#candid exchanges,
I strip the layers
from you
like #bark
from a tree,
getting right down
to your #crimson
heartwood.

What I seek,
no more than
the size of #pea,
just the essence
of you,
all that you are,
the tiny weight
of your soul.

Arms red
And scratched
From shinnying
up trees
#bark so rough
And first limb
Too high
Top though
Worth it
The view
Good enough
But the silence
Near perfect
Wind so very
Pleasant
And fond
Memories
Everlasting

I left some grooves
in the bark of a tree
clear cut lines
a glorious motif
with glorious imagery
a man and a woman
both plain to see
I thought I was leaving
my mark for all
One day I went back
to see the tree
but the arboreal wonder
was nowhere to be seen

The pond is placid now
The ripples have lain to rest
Only a breeze sheen across
As the tender wind breathes.
The #moorhens paddle slowly
Picking sustenance from below.
No one saw me place him
And O'Grady's dead self won't speak.
Will be weeks before he floats
Time enough to flee.

I think I can relate to your dogs sometimes.
Go them! Positive thinking!

My dogs
#bark
like they weigh
100 pounds
but only
weigh 20;
love to pretend
they all
that

Hello Wild walkĺ

It keeps trees warm, fed, protected! And it can be nice and pretty too... (but I bet you write about dogs(🤣

See where the bark has
Shifted, loosened, this tree, a
Scratching post for bears.
