When Love Holds Court
hearts hold
the light of the moon
see the whisper of the stars
hear the sun’s warmth
understand
night and day are one
when love holds court

Thanks, Ben.
I use an open-source graphics program called GIMP (similar to Photoshop, but free). I create a picture that’s a transparency and paste the screenshot onto it. After cropping, I delete the background of the screenshot and save that “text/tile” image as a png file. I then copy it and paste it onto the image I want to use as a background. There is re-sizing involved for both background and text image to get the scale I want. I then save the combine image as a jpg file.

“Night and day are one” – a continuum – great way to describe Love, the force that propels one moment into the next. [An aside: I wink at this as my waking/sleeping habits have little to do with clock time – maybe that’s a sign I’m channeling love, going with constant flow?]

Sometimes, Jane and Merril will use the magnets as an inspirational springboard, completing their poems on their own.

Beautiful verse, Ken. The Oracle came through with a lovely message for you. I love the timeless feeling of
“hearts hold
the light of the moon
see the whisper of the stars”
