it was a land without time
a land before time
the land of shifting time
shifting lines
shifting paradigms
the land in between
this time and that time
cast off yesterdays
a land before time
the land of shifting time
shifting lines
shifting paradigms
the land in between
this time and that time
cast off yesterdays
had come to stay
on this mean solar day
of stars gone astray
of stars gone astray
in this land without time
this land sublime
this land sublime

this piece was written 08/23/11 while sitting in the sunshine at a local state park as my grandchildren played - about noon i had a very ominous feeling and all i wanted to do was get us home - so we left the park - i was on the computer typing this piece when what is being touted as the virginia earthquake shook our house and our world an hour or so after leaving the park -
FANTASTIC. THE IMAGE IS UNSETTLING.
thanks so much trish - yes, i thought this piece of dali's was perfect for the poem - although when i wrote the poem sitting at a beautiful lush rural state park, i did not have a mental image at that time - which is unusual for me - but all i could think of right as i finished writing was getting the heck out of there with the kids - just a godawful feeling of "something" and all i wanted to do was get them "home" - of course, within an hour or so of getting home, the floors and walls of that home played ocean waves - an unsettling day -
Jenean, I can't begin to tell you just how this poem struck me. Beyond disturbed, I feel shaken by the truth inside these words. Having read your comments, all I can say is that there is wisdom, always, in trusting our instincts... they NEVER lie!

so true about trusting one's instincts - our inner voice always knows best - this was a very unsettling day in so many ways, august 23 - not the least of which was this piece which just came about as i sat in the beautiful sunshine on a blue sky day - thanks so much for coming by nevine! your visits mean a lot!
You were certainly getting some advance vibrations! The earth is always shifting somewhere, strange how I'm noticing it more these days. We felt your earthquake all the way out here in Ohio.
hello, lady butternut! yes, a weird day from the beginning - and i'm so glad i had both my little grandchildren with me so that they were not at daycare when the quake hit us - they were both terrified, having seen such horror from media sources of other eq's - you're right about the earth shifting and seemingly more and more frequently of late - so great to have you come by -
