There is
a space in heaven you’ve not known yet
on this
viridescent planet (set)
between the moon and sun…
where the
shadows and the light kiss
& Earth’s horizon blossoms tulips;
there, (exists a)
place affixed in argon, O2 air of
crimson, honey rum.
*
Follow me, my friend,
into the sunset, (where)
ruby fire meets
an auric halo on the trees.
Patiently,
for we're not there yet -
you've yet to feel
the golden hour lay low (as it)
resurrects the breeze.
*
I know not why
you've come here...
"Careful!" Warn the birdies and
the bees,
but in your eyes (I see)
enigma...
and though I'm Earthling, I
am wise enough to disregard
the stigma,
"Come with me," I say,
"beyond the swallows' chirping, we'll
embark upon this planet's yearning,
harnessed seed."
*
Follow me, dear soul,
into this magic...
I'll have you know
the ✨golden hour✨ of this world;
I promise you:
not all our hearts are stagnant -
that some of us won't tear
asunder by your static...
at least not I, (I'll have this)
open flower of a friendship bear
the karmic fruit of all
my cosmic roots & glow.
*
Arterial is
the human journey -
ideas feather out and weave
a complex nebula of all
our thoughts
(and moods)
and dreams;
ethereal you are
and otherworldly...
imperial to all that's earthly, (and)
as I point to the eclipse of moon,
you brush my lips as if I've
jumped too soon -
"how jejune you are," you say,
"this is only an illusion, --just--
✨an interlude✨ and oh -
"your faith and views are so naive."
*
Oh, to be conceived
with your perception.
Perfection isn't perfect here, but still -
I wish I could instill you with
an ounce of introspection . . .
to have you only once, behold
this dimension for
✨its lustrous gold✨, for
there's a beauty here (that)
throughout all the
universe has
never once been told.
*
So, come with me, strange thing -
it's time to watch
my home become aglow with
aurum gleam.
Can you see and feel the energy, odd spirit?
Does it induce reverie & do you
see just what I mean?
(I want to)
watch your aura sparkle as
you marvel at
the dust that dances in the light -
I want to
dare you to inform me that this
blue and emerald marble isn't
quite the artful sight.
I'll spare your unimpressed,
impartial breath from saying
"We're an evil of a people," 'cause the
truth is that the most of us are only
trying to survive;
this life we know may only be
✨an interlude✨ to some
grand conscious promise that
(in darkness, we)
have signed...
but when I look at you
in all this amber, sunset hue
.:.I do.:.
believe we are an ✨Au✨clue
to something
bigger in
t h e. g r a n d. d e s i g n .
*
Follow me,
into the sunset, friend -
with all your love & light (I will)
combine;
despite world leaders breeding havoc...
and loss of plant & wildlife - so tragic
there's still a magic here worth saving, if
only with our minds (you will)
find the ✨will✨ to intertwine.
*
Follow me,
into the sunset -
(Hey, you!)
We're still not done yet, darling -
you've struck ✨Au✨, are
you having fun yet?

So many lovely lines in this piece. Congrats on TS. And I learned a word: viridescent - never have seen that used, nice job.
I got so lost in the poignant images that I forgot what I was reading. Like a dream while I am still awake. Such beautiful prose that leaves one in wonder. This was lovely Gina.
Indeed..”still a magic worth saving”. Wonderful work Gina. ☺️
Loved this, you always impress Gina
Beautifully written and so moving. What more can I say?
I'm blown away by the beauty in your words. This was eloquent and hypnotic in its cadence and meaning. This better place!! I loved it so much. And of course the nerd in me was immediately pleased with your title and reference to the periodic table :)
Holy moly. I read this the other night and didn't get a chance to comment. Oh my word, Gina, this was otherworldly, absolutely stunning, and just... beyond magical! Your style and choice of words are always ethereal. I'm in awe, truly!
