Funny how Persephone
can visit at odd moments,
and right on time.
 
She came calling this morn,
sun not yet peeking over the horizon,
sky a pale wash of what
is to come.
 
Do you see, she asked?
Not quite awake, I faltered
in response.
 
See, she said.
 
Eyes still closed, I began
searching for what she
was bringing
to light.
 
Hades.
"The world" as
we know it—three
dimensions, no more.
 
Deathly, pestilent, warring.
A land of plenty that is never,
ever enough, never in reach
to our kind, its insatiable
hunger pangs right
outside my door
 
—should I open it.
 
See, she pressed.
 
Heaven.
 
Leaves of oak, maple, ash,
ablaze with palettes of their deep
true colors, a vivid brilliance unlike
the emeralds they wear when
the sun arcs high.
 
The warmth of my bed, blankets
still wrapping my form in
soft ample arms.
 
The rain falling softly,
like the leaves.
 
The wan half-light
of early morn, seeping
round the edges of the
windows, the doors.
 
Doors.
 
And windows...
 
yes, I see, I exclaimed.
 
All that has been seen as diametrically
opposed, worlds distant, other and separate,
'realities' hard baked in coerced certitude—
disunity, its history still haunting the recesses
of our collective psyche—are but figments of
imaginings made "real,' lenses of perception
darkened by obsequious conditioning, but
still quite intact. Still able to see
the dimensions of vision
that know no bounds.
 
That our seeing what we see
is a choice of many hues and tones,
of moment by moment opportunity,
of many more colors than our eyes
can perceive alone, many more
faceted than they can
apprehend.
 
They require
our willingness
to open our sights
to the biggest
possible
picture.
 
Libra's air gives
way to Scorpio's
water—a time to
take the balanced,
temperate view of life
engaged as all things being equal,
fair, relatable, into the
inky depths of
feeling
 
upside
down
in,
under.
 
As above,
below, as our
mother earth
demonstrates:
our fall to winter
initiated north of
the equator, the light
briefs its stay, no
longer lingers.
 
Cycles to show
range, to assuage
fears of the unseeable—
bared, open, detectible,
discernible—cycles to reveal
life's perpetual nature
ever taking,
loosing
shape.
 
Forces beyond
our control, our
ken, but within
reach of awareness,
our fathom, open their
hand to our day-blind
vulnerability.
 
Offering beauty
amidst the falling,
the succumbing,
the seeding,
this return to
the dark nether
from which to
rise anew.
 
Here,
to take in these
multifarious worlds
living right where we live,
as we live, over our heads, beneath
our very feet—the greater whole made
by its making, its unmaking
continuously expressing
through prism points
of our view.
 
Layers
of sightedness
lit from beyond,
beyond seeking
and grasping.
 
The oculi
birthing
all.
 
God, and the
devil, in the detail
—the particulate,
motes of dust
catching light,
shadow, in
slants that
meet our
gaze.
 
Yes, I see.
I see.
 
With that,
Persephone
withdrew from my
dawning room, but not
before I heard
her say,
rise
now
 
—shine.
