starlit

understanding it in your sleep

your body has started a star

you’re snuggling with blankets 

over visionary eyes

imagining

you in your cool pyjamas

silky delphinium blue

crisscrossed by links

comets connecting the heavens by numbers

in the small slope of your womb

a new star is folded

and will be born in time

covered in news stardust

you’re giving peace and space to the news

walking the sky like spirit

on soft swimming feet

listening to miniature movements

in the messenger jar of your body

your message is the star you carry

in your pyjamas delphinium blue

you’re dreaming in sync

with life unfolding

anchor

seeking your inner room

though you’d rather play outside

softening the light

though you’re hungry for the sun

lying down on your futon

though you long to run

on legs brown and strong

trying to be mindful

but wanting to be physical

wanting to participate

so bad

walking through the door

into dream state

imagining

your mystical twin

a sturdy scuba-diver

strong and smiling sun

while you’re standing in the surf

on your wobbly brown legs

sparkling with water diamonds

in your beach tunic

sky blue ultramarine

you’re streaming a rainbow of flowers

from the blue translucent fabric

sheer as your mind

holding a conch to your heart

so the sea will hear the beat

your mystical twin

he’s lifting you

he’s holding you

while you’re standing in the water

streaming dream flowers from your tunic

sky blue ultramarine

he’s your anchor

he says

you don’t have to be perfect 

to make something perfect

you’ve always felt you were a nereid

but how come

when you can’t even swim

he says

you don’t have to be perfect

to be perfect

singing to the body

feeling restless

you’re longing to make a difference with textiles

but how

searching your heart’s horizon

for white sails or splashing whales

sighing

rolling across your bed on your yoga bolster

a small black hankie of silk

soothing your physical eyes

looking into your storage of visual feelings

drifting on dreamy dusk

you suddenly stop -

imagining

your mystical twin

young blond barefoot petite priestess

in a crocheted singlet

and floor-length crocheted lace skirt

all in pale sky blue antique style

her earrings long twinkling tassels

she’s chanting

not a melody but abstract life-giving

metamusic not for the mind

but for the body

she shows you a film

of people spreading in all directions

over rocks and plains

chanting their bodybuilding tones

spreading their song across the land

and out to the sea

your twin is telling you with her mind

what’s happening while she’s singing

we listen to our body’s voice

translate it into freestyle song

adjusting the song to the body’s grid

the soft jewel order

of water nutrients spirit

singing to the body we’re helping our bodies

and our people to keep in good health

and you know in a flash

you can do this

with textiles and colours instead of your voice

because the body needs many songs

to feel loved

the body also needs visual impressions

it’s just another form of chant

it’s just another tonal love song

your mystical twin then gives you

a wrap-around dress fiery red

a big silk chiffon sheet

you could use it like singing to the body

a textile song

swinging big scarves or veils like flags

walking or running on grass or sand

and into the water

people could do this

while you’re still listening

you’re suddenly back on your bed

all alight with this new idea

making big silky sheets

and smaller ones for the kids

but you’ll start with one colour

the colour of your twin’s priestess dress

a pale summer sky blue

but transparent so you can see

the real sky through

for singing to the body with peace

later you’ll find the fiery red silk

the gift from your twin

and make a collection

for singing to the body with passion

human dolphin

near sleep

sensing you’re by the sea

with limbs and breath sun-soaked

feeling the sun on your eyelids

warming through your mind

filling your lungs

expanding

exhaling

a tall auric heart rising

above your resting form

fragments of thoughts fading

into shades of nourishing dreams

imagining

your mystical twin

dressed in the sea and his golden heart

speeding through the surf

with sunshiny eyes smiling

from another realm angelic

both human and delphinic

sky and ocean uniting

to build him a puff-sleeved

jumbo joy of life spacesuit

for use in the sea blue

sparkling non-plastic

biodegradable

idealistic

dazzling and jumping

he’s guiding you along

the longitude of waves

pushing you gently

performing his water show

to keep your spirits high

coming to the rescue

a psychic paramedic

listening assessing

your need for help and guidance

the two of you can talk

sea-speak marine

quirky dolphin thoughts

received by the outer reaches

of each other’s mind

this is your wavelength

you can always tune in

he’ll bring you safely to land

coming to the rescue

bringing love and friendship

thalassic compassion

in his sparkling dolphin smile

you wake up feeling protected

by a human dolphin

there’s an image

before your inner eye

of a big light shining

through his white cotton t-shirt

his golden helper’s heart

soul reuniting

closing your eyes lightly

relaxing into darkness

taking care

feeling warm

falling into half-sleep

wide awake

feeling the shape of your heart

like arms protecting you

imagining

you in a fantasy yoga outfit

with bell-bottom pants a fabric

of blue-green waves moving

around your feet

at your waist a thin gold belt

you're told it's real gold

for soul reuniting

sitting in the lotus padmasana

with your fingers positioned

in gyan mudra perfection

together with a group of morning people

fresh from sleep in a room of wood

and glass in the middle

of glorious nature

all around you are tall fir trees

and the sound of water streaming

through white crusts of snow

you're moving in time and coordination

with your morning mates

exchanging your breath in peace the ocean

is in the air

and you're all together

but you've still got a room of your own

in the mind of the forest

your training suit is so light

you never even feel the belt of gold

around your breath

and only see never feel

blue waves moving

around your feet

your body is thriving with the asanas

gladly showing what it can do

flexing your muscles with just the right power

easy and free and in peace

with just the necessary moves

of your mind

you hardly know the morning people

but you're part of each other

inside this ship of heaven and earth

breathing blue air from fir trees

like you were a lung shared

but suddenly

outside the panorama window

there's a small cat looking in

looking at you

and you remember

why you took up soul reuniting

initially

love comes running

you jump out of your position

and go to the wall of glass

you place your hand on it

and the small cat

puts a paw on it

from the outside

you hurry out in the cold

you take the cat in your arms

whispering I love you

I love you

small paws resting on your arm

so softly confidently

you've been searching for the small cat

and now you've found each other

you grab your white yoga sweater

wrap it around the two of you

priestess of alone

snow is falling

you turn away from the window

turning inward

sinking down on your futon

snuggling under your duvet

still seeing snowflakes sailing

through the dark behind your eyelids

letting yourself drift like a snowflake

drawing a heart around yourself

with an inner light pen

imagining

your mystical twin

in a dark blue denim mini

with the roomy sky-blue pockets

of a fantasist mechanic

or a goddess

moonbooted

she's standing alone in the dark

snow is falling

with the bright lighted windows

of the high-rise in the background

she's the priestess of alone

standing solid in the air

with her hands lifted

catching the snowflakes

bearing them as gifts

for the gifted

time was

you were a lonely child

seeing through the surface

of the consensual world

but now it's time

you're still standing

in your soul's dark blue denim

you're not really alone anymore

and you've got so much to give

to the gifted

the universe is singing

come on lights alone

come together

bring your lights along

bring it on

together

your mystical twin

she's handing you a silky cardigan

hibiscus red

against the cold

shaping peace

early morning tired

didn't sleep enough

you want to stay a bit longer

in the baby carrier of night

make yourself return to yourself

the sleepy girl in the bed

curling up under your duvet

closing your eyes again

slipping inside

fading night

imagining

you younger

in a red silk princess dress

sprinkled with ladybird spots

there's a place

a place far away

you used to sleep on the roof

near the upside down bowl of heaven

ultramarine indigo turquoise blue

pierced with stars

being little

mum and dad carrying you

the blue pyjamas you remember

but in the daytime

did you really jump about

like a red silk butterfly

tutu swirling around your brown legs

now everybody's asking you

what do you want to do

you're good at languages

good at maths

you care for people

but most of all you want

to return to that roof

want to shape smooth

ultramarine turquoise indigo

bowls out of the firmament

shaping peace in blue containers

small domes made from glazed clay

or braided from soft textiles

smooth and rounded

as safe sleep on a roof

with mum and dad carrying you

and other sleepers breathing

safe wavelengths in the night

the red silk princess dress

may not be a real memory

but your original blueprint

or it may be the future you

a sibyl enfolded in red silk

holding blue earth in your hands

like a crystal ball

passionate peace incarnate

you come walking

red silk swirling

converting

all armies to armistice

sibyl swathed in red silk

speaking to warriors

turning them to peace

while your hands are shaping blue

into heavenly bowls for people

to catch their own stars

feeling energized by this image

you jump out of bed

hurry to school

listening to music
