A Miscellany of Musings - Presented to you in celebration of the Full Moon and this beautiful Spring we have been gifted in the Appalachians.
| Across the verdant meadow lies The gateway to a sacred place Betwixt the water and ice blue skies Enfolded in a magical embrace At journey's end there waits a prize A solemn blessing - boundless grace Out of time and worry a day To visit with the elusive fey Ellen Apple 05/16/2015  |
| Attempted to find credit for photograph, it is apparently a Gypsy Caravan in Gloucestershire, England |
Take my wagon to the woods
That is what I should do
Dig some 'seng
Find some ramps
Search out those dry-land fish
Take my wagon to the meadow
That is what I should do
Gather dandelions and clover
Cut some lavender
Brew me some thistle tea
Take my wagon to the fair
That is what I should do
Read some cards
Dance and twirl
Sing the Moon to sleep

| Hobbit House in New Zealand, I tried to find a photo credit but could not |
Hidden under the fairy mound
Beside the willow tree
Behind a haint blue door
Sipping a sassafras tea
Who could hope to conjure more?
This is where I shall be found!

Quietude in full moonlight
Making magic in the night
Bright she guides me on my way
Inspires me with what to say
Drawing down her mystic power
Emboldened at the witching hour

My Inner Landscape
I close my eyes and I can see
A path from river stone laid
Past fragrant lily of the valley
'Neath a weeping willow for shade
Clover, violet and moss so lush
Varying shades of green
A blossom laden spirea bush
Morning dew adds sparkle and sheen
The sounds of serenity filter in
Birdsong and a dragonfly's whir
Leaves flutter on tip of limb
As a breeze begins to stir
A seat from a tree stump hewn
From which to sit and ponder
While glimpsing in cloud an ancient rune
A delicious way time to squander
Come join me in my inner landscape
A place I have carefully constructed
Where from life's trials we can escape
And dreams are not obstructed
