SUMMER NIGHT/ 1913/ Albert Bloch
THANK YOU, Tess, for Magpie Tales....
BLUE MOON
Come closer, this
is the place of chance,
where once in a blue moon,
you can stumble past betrayal,
and call out a spell,
"belew, belew",
ancient chant,
duplicity, be gone.
Clouds of indgo ash,
a sky dimmed by stain.
Stay by my side, gaze,
see light tossed anew,
hope for the sun to rise
in seventh heaven.

Hi junkthief-
ReplyDeleteI was very much on the wavelength of this image..a real gift..thank you so much!
I thought blue moon, too. I like the chant-like dance.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, loved it. "belew, belew" made me shiver.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie-
ReplyDeleteI thought the Blue Moon theme was magical! Thanks so much...
Hi Ritva-
ReplyDeleteGlad it had that effect! Thank you...
I could actually "hear" these figures saying that word "belew", and sense the flirtatious coaxing to stay with them forever!
ReplyDeleteBlue in the night and heaven's touch with the sunrise. Rightly so, Lyn!

Lovely, Ms. Lyn! "Blue Moon" is going to be playing in my head all day!!
ReplyDeleteYour words paint a lovely scene to behold!
ReplyDeleteBesides the ethereal qualities of the painting, you picked up on the archaic feeling of the figures and I love that you channeled your words through the mystic nuances of ancient
ReplyDeletetimes. Our 'blue moon' uneasiness is definitely connected to the spiritual naivety of the people who lived during middle ages. Awesome Lyn! Thank you for sharing.
magical indeed...thanks for this Lyn
ReplyDeleteAh your Blue Moon is vey different to mine. I like the way you've chosen the old chant and made us think of medieval mystery mingled with the indigo ash of a different bue moon.
ReplyDeleteI like this cncept of a spiritual " last chance saloon" , where the colour blue reigns and hope springs eternal, thanks Lyn !
