This month's inspired piece from Susan Schroder's calendar titled Viridios. This one I liked alot and really gave me the start to see the world she saw and still in my own way. Tis the magic of a true artist.
"Welcome wayward child," the woman heard, "To my forest home.Tis my kingdom all around regardless where thy spirit roam.""Where are you?" Asked the woodland visitor to the mocking voice.The birds joined in as laughter echoed while the haunting sound rejoiced."Where am I, where are you a question truer prayed upon my dear.""Show your self." Was her reply as she kept in check her fear."Willful lass you truly are though lost in many ways.So too be such mortal kind since the first of dawning days."On the nearby trees her focus narrowed whilst he talked aloud.The dense growth of wood and leaf hid all within its shroud.Then she saw the green man's face appear from hollowed wood.What expressed upon his weathered brow she somehow understood.As he neared her body she stood transfixed powerless and still.In gentle touch she felt his warmth that fled away her chill."From your first step into my world I walked along with you.Twas I that scented your every breath with tiny drops of dew.When your passing caressed the tender leaf I felt your gentle hand.Into this place I am all and one the water, sky and land.A paradise is what I offer beyond any you could know."As he spoke she grew weaker till she submissively let go.Another claim the woods had made a disciple to the wild.Till a voice was heard again to say, "Welcome wayward child."Love A Shored
Susan Schroder's Oceana this month's inspired calendar piece.
Beneath crystal foam and rolling hills that glisten from sun and moon.Above waving weeds in currents dance to some obscured euphonic tune.Like a dreamt of incarnation drift the souls who own this foreign realm.Cursed and blessed fleshed contenders of imagination overwhelmed.Dwelling in Neptune's surreal abyss among his children of the deep.Are goddesses who yearn for their desire but alas shall never keep.In half a form that no man shall claim still none cannot deny.Under waves hide a truer tale that proves all she seems a lie.That which makes them sea bound queens and enslaves their mortal part.Their wish for love is held prisoner and trapped in their longing heart.Their songs are cries in weeping tunes that only the angels sing.To weary sailor their call for comfort an answer of death it brings.At times enchanted and places mystic they make their solemn appeal.To touch that which their soul and heart alone could only feel.In love they make their wishes known in love their wish comes true.On rocky shore they ascend to leave a life that they once knew.To this day exist these women who are as mysterious as the sea.Forever searching for the one to be with always and eternally.By And By
Daughters Of Time
Late post on this month's inspired piece from Susan Schroder's calendar.
In endless vigil are watchers fair the maidens of eternity.To keep now's space between what once was and what has yet to be.Forever's children have not taken rest their guard has just begun.Theirs is to stir wait's solitude a god to nothing quickly done.From beyond to beyond through the book of life they turn another page.In time beats their pulse with every step marched across the age.Know the future holds not a blessing or a curse upon the past.Deny each their due and in its wake the first shall be the last.When the elder's lessons are forgotten through the lack of care.Pain and burdens is the payment for later souls to bear.Weaker wills who choose not to see what the future has in store.Their prospects are an empty pit that yeilds precious little more.Then there are the foolish ones who fear the here and now.A squandered gift is there present this they'll disavow.When wish and hope are prayed upon they hold each other's hand.The past and future bleed into now so those seeking understand.Sacred sisters of timeless beauty born from tranquility.These graced goddesses ward the world's of man's reality.


I love Lady Susan's pieces too... They sure do bring up lots of lovely imaginations. :^)
