I had a long and complicated dream about Sue Vincent last night. I’m still trying to disentangle and figure it out. But the Oracle always knows what’s on my mind. After I visited Her, I looked for some art I had done for one of Sue’s prompts to accompany it. I knew immediately this was the one to use.
above
the rain do dreams
swim on light? is that how
moon music recalls the language
of sea shadows
singing?
the blue of
darkness is
a blank canvas
from translucent music
comes
the shadow
of hope
moonbird rising
toward
the center of deep
light
K. 
All the questions. . .and moonbird. Beautiful.
Yes, the Oracle always knows, and yes, our poems are definitely related.
I miss that Jane can’t respond our posts.

Both of your poems contained thoughts and feelings I had while writing mine.
Jane is always missed when she’s not around…(K)

HI Kerfe, Sue Vincent often pops into my head when I write poetry. She had a very strong influence on me as a mentor and I miss her. I am pleased your dream of Sue inspired this lovely poem.

Thanks Robbie. Sue is always somewhere in the back of my mind. I hope she knew how much she influenced our creativity.

Love that moonbird. Our poems create a similar scene, but yours is gentler, less harsh. They are both full of the moon and music, and end with the bird/rose finding that elusive light.

Yes, the moonbird is always a welcome sight. As is the light.

I see these two as a matched set. Who is to say Sue isn’t “above the rain”, “swim[ming] on light”, sending you a little sunshine…

It makes sense since both art and words were inspired by Sue. She was very connected to the natural world.
