SENTINELS

She stood by the fence gate
a sentinel to another world
a window to the past
but she was blind to the present
her imagination stronger
than the moment.

I am topaz, I am gold
I am the hidden lucre
made of iron and meteorite.

A galaxy of stars
the Milky Way
planets & meteors

Garnet is blood is meat is carnelian is death is stars

Obsidian darkness
the hunter
cave painting and story
The ruby thought
the mind's horizon
travelling homeward.
