Rhiannon Rings
for Stevie Nicks
like a bell as forest crowns rock
and the ceiling of the sky unravels
with cats gathering in sacred séance
to call home all witches flocking
from love’s incense for the fondness
of darkness, for starless dream-dipping
while the mind unwinds and you see
them, rowdy skylarks, dusk-bathing
in the indigo bowl of night, reminding
you that your life knows no answer.

Stevie is a goddess, and this poem is fit for one. Well done!
Wow. Thank you!
Stevie Nicks brings out the poetry in her voice; you put the voice in words…
Thanks! That’s a neat way of looking at it.
Oh how I love this!
Thanks, Karen! 🙂
Oh, how I love Stevie, and how I love what you’ve done with this piece–a lovely flurry of images. And “the indigo bowl of night”–beautiful!
Thank you!
