HAVEN DREAMING

Drifting weightlessly awhile dreaming lucidly seeing
Floating through halls of granite having huge columns
Touching cold stonewalls filled with ancient lights
Knew momentarily, I was transported somewhere else
I studied the writings and carved pictures on the walls
Reading a story of humans caught within an earthen warp
But, here a palatial ruin, not foreboding, and oddly grand
Felt pleasure and comfort, felt familiarly, as if, I was home
The temple held temples, spirits ~ awaiting souls
A ride through the cosmos in order to find their own
And meanwhile awaiting the catalyst who transports
Watched myself drifting in this palatial mausoleum space
Recognizing old ~ old character beings, I’ve known
In another place for certain; however, this was our womb
Until the time of birthing thus taking flight combusting into life
Here we gathered, quietly awaiting, until our mother said
And this cold monumental temple is our place
I recognized the carvings and the silent grace
And one day, will return and unite with my family
A peaceful dream experienced, finding my haven

REMEMBERING WALES

The aromas of luxurious greens adorned the ruin
And wandering up the stairs had intense feelings
Chills and goosebumps and Erector Pelli presented
The closer the emerging, the more intuition feelings
Here I’d been, in this place along ~ long time ago
The whispers of distant voices and conversations
Remembered laughter and thought of the dancing
Beer, wine and silver goblets, and sheer elegance
Gentleman in kilts, and fair maids with bosoms
Cajoling till dawn, Oh, the legends ~ long gone
And now Butter Cups adorn the stairs leading up
To a place once reserved for men of Highlanders
And, The charitable Sisters of Dawn, tended by day
Oh, but that was ancient centuries now long forsaken
Here I walk, three hundred years past such history
Visiting ghosts, and wondering could we have passed
Each other again, some later time and place, so aghast
Venturing another lifetime, could they’ve too ~
Will we meet again, at this ruin on a hill?

A MOMENT

Momentarily, de jevu flashed as erroneously remembered
This castle amongst foliage and humongous lizards
Oddly familiar, the senses anticipate relevance
To a time untamed, yet wildly passionate
Where fair maidens surrendered to kings impassioned
And the jungle seems unexciting after all the eras
And lost was the drunken music, beer, and enibriation
No decadent laughter heard, no reveling “bottoms up!”
Just me standing reverently, at the nevergreen years
Ghosts that linger, and faint voices past
And prayerfully, I turned around in my tracks

  4. Bonnie Jennings poetry is mystical. She writes in the playful muse of fairies and of winged angels who carry you to distant lands of magic. An incredible writer of enchanting tales. She keeps the reader in a wondrous state from beginning to end. Barbara Suen
