12 Ben
Red Crystal
Skywalker
I gaze eastward
Toward the Mountains
From the Desert
where I live -
I delight in crystal
Blankets
Softening rock Cliffs
This quality of
tempering
Pervades when Snow
descends -
Stark tree Limbs
gain Dimension -
Green Pine and Holly
Turn joyous and jolly
The smooth, soothing
White
Of the Earth under
Snow
Echoes a Shift alchemical
-
The Soul’s Albedo
Out of Nigredo –
Depression – Dark
Night – Grief –
Transform into Blues
Indigo -
In Respite and
Relief –
Signaling Psyche’s
transformation
From Darkness into
Light.
