Lady Cosmos Sleeps on the Moon
Lady Cosmos
Sleeps on the Moon
One eye open
The other eye too busy seeing
That which is hidden
Beneath the threads
The ties that bind
Planets
Stars and Galaxies
She weaves light
Through second sight
Twisting
Threads between her fingers
Yet never knotted
Cut or trimmed
Their growth is never stifled
It’s not permitted
By the rules
The Great Timekeeper
Has spoken
She remembers
Watching the distance
Grandfathers smile
Grandmothers nod in agreement
Her weaving never ceases
Except for a moment
When she rests her head
In the crescent of the moon
Poetry Like Lady Cosmos
R J Schwartz
I write about everything and sometimes nothing at all.I'm fascinated by old things, rusty things, abandoned places, or anywhere that a secret might be unearthed.I'm passionate about history and many of my pieces are anchored in one concept of time or another.I've always been a writer, dating back to my youth, but the last decade has been a time of growth for me.I'm continually pushing the limitations of vocabulary, syntax, and descriptive phrasing.
