Cloak Of Twilight

I enter the cathedral from the northeast corner
and nearly disturb the grand round tour
scholars of the stone
ex-worshipers.
A minor curate of the square flings halos at me
I dodge and they may have stuck the tourists
I do not know as I have already left
at the first sign of trouble.

My cloak of twilight wraps around me
in big draping airy folds
it is indigo and near invisible
from inside it looks green
huge voluptuous leaves
it looks flimsy and graceful
from without you must be wise
to see even a shimmer or turn.

I travel with a Midnight Cat
careful steps but quick
and I pass the valley guardians.

    Hello Fran,
    The trouble with halos is they're not too versatile, come with too many rules, they don't even change color and you get no green or animal life with them. I rather like the cloak of twilight.
    I am so new and ancient with this dreaming stuff. It feels like body surfing. I jump in and some times ride it through, heads up all the way and sometimes I am tumbling and land on my butt with a mouth full of ocean. I've always love body surfing in the ocean!
    I love your profile picture. Can't stop looking at it this morning. Such detail, kind of weird and beautifully peaceful to me. And your facts crack me up.

    Hi Patty!

    I love that picture too, and have totally fallen in love with Remedios Varo and her work. You can see the picture at:
