aicme hÚatha/fifth few
many people are quite enthralled with manufactured glamour made up & dressed to kill but: that beauty revealed early mornings as the dawn dances in the curtain & on your sleeping face... eternal
These ogham poems are an exploration into understanding a mystic alphabet sometimes used for divination in a manner similar to runes, tarot, and etc. It is part of my continued investigation into understanding the Old Ways, and not meant to imply I have expert knowledge about ogham. In fact, any meaning I ascribe to a given few may be largely based on personal reflection, meditation and shamanic visualization. The meanings I apply are highly personal and may not follow the meanings assigned by scholars of the writing system.
Michael, I love this part. 😊
that beauty revealed
early mornings
as the dawn dances
in the curtain
& on your
sleeping face…

Thank you 😊
In reflection, this poem should probably be edited so that this part is the whole of it.

Re: Adelheid (and your response) – it all depends on how subtle you feel.you can be. The first stanza is sort of implied in the second…it’s just that some people need a sledgehammer to crack a nut, as they say.

I’ve a history of jamming things down people’s throats and holding their mouth closed until they swallow whatever that might be. I’m trying to find a more artful approach, occasionally succeeding, so I see my own writing through that lens. But, you are very correct in saying that dropping a 2-tonne ACME weight on people’s heads is sometimes just as, or more, effective than subtlety. Have a great morning/afternoon, Chris. 🙂
