Big Sky Road by Ella
At Real Toads, today, the prompt by Ella of Ella's Edge is multi-faceted. Ella describes an art process, using a product called CitraSolv, that results in some stunning images, like the one above. We are to pick one and write to it. Ella also talks about Indian Spiritwalkers, those who walk with spirits to receive wisdom and guidance to take back and share with their people. This appealed to me very much, as did Ella's painting, entitled Big Sky Road.
There goes Wild Woman,
head tilted back, and grinning
at the sky.
She's listening
as the windward voices cry.
She's trying to decode
messages in the clouds.
She knows
that there are spirits
passing by.
She hears Wind Woman singing
from the hills.
At summer's end,
the Westerly blows chill.
She packs her heart
with memories
and friends,
writes love letters
to the world
she'll never need to send.
It has been a Blue Sky Journey
home, my friends.
Sun and trees and sky-
their beauty never ends.
Spirit whispers to us
in our sleep,
makes promises
we travel far to keep.
Look up! Look up!
Don't miss one moment more!
There's a Sky-Show
in the heavens passing by.
Keep looking up;
let's never cease
our striving
to keep our vision
bigger than the sky.
