A FUNERAL OF STARS
Oh sprite
Come in
From darkened night
Your presence strong in ailing
light
I sense you in the chill of air
Sitting on the worldÂ
OutÂ
There
​​
Watching waiting
Silence deep
The moon a secret
That you keep
The day a mourning in your
heart
When, in coffins do
Your stars depart
Oh sprite, come in
From lonliness
I hear your cries
In hush hush hush
This world a burden on your
soul
A sadness so so ancient old
Oh sprite
Come in from all
So stark
Your desolate spirit home to
dark
I hear your melancholy sing
In rustling leaf and owl shaped
wing
Your presence weighs upon my
hearts
Though worlds and worlds
We stand apart
But I sense you, strong
In the chilled night air
Sitting all alone
On the world
OutÂ
There
Marion Price (2020)

I love, love, love this Marion. Written so beautifully and with a real melancholy air about it. Brilliant. Truly brilliant. Pinned ? x
Hiya love...do you ever feel this?...when you stand alone in the dark with the stars and the moon and the...something else??? I do...thank you so much Tina ?

Hi Marion... Sometimes I do. Sometimes the feeling is very strong... But a good feeling generally. There are times though, when it feels eerily empty... Like nothing there at all... Just the moon and stars and..... Nothing else. That is a scary feeling. That makes me shiver. Occasionally I can feel something else there but it is not very nice... When that happens I actually ask the bad spirits to leave me alone as they are not welcome... And I get back indoors again quickly. There are definitely spirits around us. I think so. I think there always has been. Some places seem really blessed. Some places you can feel so much and just know that magic is there... An ancient sort of magic. Oh I could go on and on about this. I know where my beliefs lie... I have always known... It is just something that has always been in me x
You think like me though I don't believe in bad spirits, evil exists in man only. There is a place by my back gate which looks onto countryside that is magical to me in the dark...a place where I feel truly connected to the universe and the unseen. I LOVE atmosphere above all else and strive to convey atmosphere when I write but it's hard, sometimes you have to mix it up. And now...I'm off to take a cuppa and my vape and look at the stars by my magic lilac gate...I am blessed ..thankyou love ?
Enjoy your moment with the moon, Marion.  Hugs x
