Stars & Sunny Room Karima Hoisan & Dale Innis on Midjourney AI

You Make The Magic

The magic of shape and color and shades of light
of textures so darkly smooth, and so sharply bright
Roll off my retinas until I almost faint and fall into bloom
I didn’t think I’d find all of this in my glorious sunny room.

What sorcery of love or bewitched ways await?
I’m caught in your bright lights awaiting my fate.
But your colors call me, your stained glass & wire
Your remarkable talent is perfume that sets me afire.

The stars are everywhere, stars & moons, ethereal tunes
The incense, burns, the candles flicker, the singer croons
I am sitting cross-legged on a pile of pillows, rolling tapestries
If I close my eyes, this light show grows and takes away my realities.

When I open them, the leafless tress beckon me to help them leaf
They know more than I, so I dance in their bare arms, feeling their grief
But you wave your hands around us and it is Spring and we all rebirth
It is any time you choose it to be, my Wizard, My Magician my Beloved Earth.

*Footnote for Cindy:)  A good example of my “loopy poetry” after dental surgery yesterday…

    • Ahh soulkin, yes that line “fall into bloom” is not a very normal choice of words hehe, but in my sort of altered state. I actually changed another line to it..because, it’s more what I saw in my head. I treasure your comments because we have such similar yet different life experiences and both know from the inside out about reality-play…within the Big Play. Thank you fellow Earth-child for this beautiful comment.🙏❤️🙏

  4. Wow girlfriend, this was quite stunning with your imagery so vivid in full color! I was waiting for your voice to accompany your words but “loopy” might not have sounded like what you hoped for. lol … was I the Cindy in your footnote or might you have more windy friends like me? xo
    You and Dale are magic 💓❤️🙌🏽😘

      and so here I present it to you:):) 🌹

    Hurrah for loopy poetry! 🙂 The image is a great combination of RL light and hallucinated art. (Now I want to go play with the earlier version of the AI engine that I used for those Sunny Room pictures.)

    The universe is the magic! ✨

    • Glad you liked my loopy verses, Dale and I think you are calling my side (The stars) “hallucinated art” and haha that is a perfect term for them too. Oh play away in old engines, I have no doubt something will pop up and inspire me again. I do like the older AI engines even a bit more…they don’t produce such picture-perfect, photo-realistic images..and they are definitely more wild and surprising:)

    Loving warm colour scheme of the room, bathes in the sun even more surreal. Hope you have a speedy recovery of the dental surgery. 🙏
