Ariba

under your dreamy duvet

half awake

at the break of early grey pearly day

drawing the curtains over

your physical eyes

looking through your inner window

smiling your body mindful

looking forward

imagining

your mystical twin

a laughing girl on the threshold

with long black hair

dressed in pearly grey silk

like a sky with paling stars

pointillistic

Ariba your sister

she’s way too pale

too mystic

so light in your arms

so light in your sight

like fairy air

in a noisy hot city

on the other side of earth

but unearthly

you’re holding on to her

don’t disappear

Ariba

you can always feel her call

sensing what she needs

Ariba laughing

with braces on her white teeth

much too pearly pale

evaporating from your sight

wait you shout

wait Ariba

it’s vitamin deficiency

I’ll send you oranges

throwing the juicy colour

through the universe

juggling the bouncy fruit

metamorphosing

into a bodily puffy bolero

on her pearly

grey unearthly

silky soul

she’s laughing with her braces

holding hands across the world

you’re always sensing when she needs you

Ariba

always meeting on the threshold

reality guide

people call you a dreamer

but you feel yourself drawn

to reality

so now you want to know

is your perception of reality real

or is it a dream

your nightshirt is grey

as the dimming day

grey as summer rain

but a summer storm of blossom

is whirling from your shoulder

you don't recognize them

just flowers of shadow

flowers of sleep

making yourself comfortable

with blankets and puffy pillows

letting your legs and arms fall

your fists uncurl

your mind unwind

imagining

your mystical twin

jumping onto the scene

in taekwondo training pants

and a shirt sporting tigers bouncing

tiger lilies bursting

he's Asian sweet and smart

and full of mischief

he asks you to follow him at work

as a reality explorer

he invites you to go climbing

the nearly invisible

rocks of reality

you're treading with care

with your espadrilled feet

reality seems to be transparent

interconnecting floors and stairs

but you know you can show it

know you can know it

stepping on steps

you know you can love it

getting a grip

you can be a reality guide

there'll be floors and doors

and you'll put your foot down

reality

may be invisible to the touch

but the flowers on your shirt

are bougainvilleas

and you're getting a whiff

of deep sounding red

the passion for life

Vera Kelgart  (with chlorite included Isis elestial crystal) 2019

holding the gold leaf

on your bed

with your palms upwards

disarmed

your sleepy thoughts following

your median line up over your head

sketching a big imaginary heart

arcs high as rainbows

but rooted in the ground

you're floating

a soft vehicle into the misty

imagining

you in your delicate breezy garments

embracing authentic north

your mind a peaceful jewel

set in a cardigan open

fluffy and flapping

dusty grape violet

knit and purl patterned

purple wool flying

over thin linen layers

grey as the sky

you're drawing your body warmth closer

a heart-shaped leaf of light

muted gold with visible silver veins

nothing is written in stone

there's a plasticity to life

in your hand

you realize

you're holding the gold leaf

full of future

alive with initiative

you realize

you do not need to stand statue still

and so you walk out of the picture

initiating

rain

going to your inner room

protecting it with a heart outline

of white light

lying down trying to relax

you discover a rock or a hard place

in your chest

surveying it carefully

without touching anything

your arms and legs prepared

for flight

breathing to relax

softening the surrounding muscles

trying to blur the edges

of the hard place

waiting

imagining

your mystical twin

goldilocks beautiful sixties like

in a thunder grey greatcoat

rather peaceful though military style

with blue jeans and scruffy boots

right over his heart in the woollen coat

instead of a golden button

is a crazily shining camomile diamond

flower brooch

his smile is moving sparkling

sun on water

you can feel his feelings

like rain softly falling

he's just like you

but eternally younger

he says I'm rain

falling on thirsty fields and forests

let your feelings shower

from a window in your heart

you can watch them while it rains

he says don't analyze so much

don't stay inside when it rains

let your feelings flower

just like you

but with this camomile diamond smile

quivering on water

your mystical twin

smiling like the sun

in his woollen greatcoat

he gives you a high five and is gone

there's a soft place in your chest

Cleo

daydreaming again

taking a break

from schoolwork

and small squealing siblings

wishing for a mirror friend

someone like you

coming from somewhere to here

closing your eyes for a sec

there's a door before you

the future

heart-shaped calling out to you

walking through

imagining

your mystical twin

looking like you

slender with long black hair

and light brown skin

but wearing a dress unknown

clinging pearly grey sheath

with a silver drawstring at the waist

unadorned cool

in black ankle boots

while you're standing gaping

in washed-out denim and tee

shimmering summer young

like you yet ancient

stepping egyptian-like out

from a mural to real life

such a scintillating girl

her name should be Cleo you're thinking

she smiles and says

she's from heaven and her dress

is a starway

from far away

sliding down a slope of light

here comes Cleo to the rescue

gliding through air

like a teen mother ship

building a shelter of the mind

walking on a comet's tail

in ankle boots so cool

into humanity's group soul

here comes a pleiad

big sister pilot

in charge of the children of the world

you're standing wondering

at a girl like you

knowing you're the same

holding your head so high

walking tall on a comet's tail

Vera Kelgart (with Isis crystal 'Glyph')  2017

misty

falling down on your futon

longing to retrieve yourself

seeking your median line

making it the center of peace and quiet

in the big heart you're tracing

with the pencil of your inner eye

connecting with all parts of your body

feeling at home in your own breathing

imagining

you in a grey mystery gown

with a train of thought by a misty water

a line of swans gliding along

one silver belt swan

twisted around your waist

holding the billowing grey together

you understand grey

wearing grey denim skirts

and grey cable knits

nondescript but classic

but this is different

crepe de chine like a non-stop rolling steam

or smoke in a mirror

as a child you were misty

never could choose a distinct colour

always favouring intangible grey

a uniting frequency

all and nothing

the rainbow's origin

you were different

but here in this place you click into place

trailing your mist for miles

in your grey swan shift

bare-shouldered elegant mystery

moving between worlds

you're helping people crippled by implants

of trauma or pain

little clawlike flashback videos

you're cleansing their minds with intangible grey

you're flying

steered by the swan belt's free wing

being timeless

then you sit up

feeling good but a bit dazed

you're in your denim skirt and cable knit

Vera Kelgart  (with window crystal 'Pearl')  2016

territory

in your wool wrap sweater
greyish blue as your native sea
you're at home

grey daylight waves
loud gulls' calls
you're at home

you have no time for fair weather
you need your territory
pulling your foam white cuffs
over your wrists in the storm

competent resilient
all you need is your territory
petrol blue grey alpaca
softly worn
and you'll be forever hardy
forever young

your wool wrap sweater
you mostly wear it open
great wings softly taking off
exposing your heart to the storm

singer

the blackbird is drawing you out
of yourself
then delivering you back
to yourself as a gift

the soft song tears the grey
drawing you out
far away to the swirling
solicitous blue

delivering you safely
back to yourself
your chili red appetite
your passion for work

there's a small dreamy indigo
flower by the wayside

there's a golden hoop you've discovered
in your aura
nourishing your body
everywhere



Vera Kelgart  (with smoky Isis crystal 'Zoë')  2014

guardian angel

a grey curtain of mist
has fallen on the highway
but anyway
you're raising a red heart
standing it on its pointed foot

it's for the children
so they'll know they're protected
your eager heart following
time travelling
to their teens

then you go to your own place of mind
you say hello to your young self
relaxing in a sky wrap-around
periwinkle blue
the sea is your jeans



Vera Kelgart  (with smoky Isis crystal 'Zoë')  2014

dots still connect

you're not losing heart
when you seem to disappear
when whole lines of dots
don't connect

you know you are there
you just need to rest
to be empty space
where you are

the invisible dots
are still on line
you just need to replenish
your need for reaching out

low energy mode
no light
no dark

you can't all the time
wear your gold cheongsam
you've got snuggly grey sweats
for sitting on your bed
listening to the rain
in yourself

low energy mode
no light
no dark

you're not losing heart
you're tracing hearts on your face
with your fingers
