ashes of burnt clouds
night wing rises in the west
look – the sky, the sky!
born of ancient glowing dust
we appear among the stars
We are stardust, we are golden
Billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
lyrics from "Woodstock"

Deb, Isn't it wonderful to look up at the sky and see a beautiful sunset??? AND---when it reminds you of a song or poem, that makes it even more special.
I walk with my iPod on--and sometimes we will round a curve and see something beautiful. At the same time I will hear a gorgeous song on my iPod... It all just goes together. Amazing.
Hugs,
Betsy
I love joni mitchell's song and just got an ipod-sounds like a great combination as I learn to use it better. Lovely sunset photo.
our brains must be on the same frequency this week! I love your poems, you did the prompt justice!
oh, that line: night wing rises in the west--it sure says a lot in a few words.
Dear Deborah--
I posted another comment, but not sure it 'took', so here it is again--
I really liked this--you took stardust in a similar way as I, but made it much warmer and more accessible--thank you!
Especially liked the 'billion year old carbon...back to the garden'! What a hoot!
Thanks a billion carbon years--
I always loved this song, when it was released and now. Great use of the prompt Deborah. Hugs, G
joni is a goddess :)
incredible photo
Always love you photos, poems -- everything you post! Also love Joni Mitchell! We are both surrounded by so much natural beauty, it's hard not to photograph it, write about it, celebrate it. Thanks as always!
A beautiful poem including words from my favourite song?
Magical.
we are like stardust in the sky born of ancient glowing dust, I like the idea, wonderful take on OSI
my favorite is the last stanza :)
Lovely photo... and nice to be reminded of Joni Mitchell and woodstock and younger days when I felt more like stardust.
One of my favorites! Love the tankas, Deborah.
This is a very wonderful piece, Deb. I hope we do get back to the garden.
Yep, me too. (You know how I feel about Joni.) I heart your verses.."ashes of burnt clouds
night wing rises in the west". Whew. You speak of these things so simply and eloquently.
Beautiful post!!!
this is so beautiful....
really beautiful post indeed !!!
the poem / bit of song lyric really fits the way we feel when we get outside on certain days.
I enjoyed the poem and the photo very much.
Thank you for sharing them.
Great poem as usual. Joni Mitchell rocks! I love folk music.
Very nice... I love the first line "ashes of burnt clouds"... that is afterall what stardust really is!

Wishing you a Happy New year filled with joy and inspiration! =^.^= NG
I love your poem--it's wonderful!
I thought of the same song, too, as soon as I saw the prompt!
(and thanks for the education--I had to look up "tanka"!) ;)
Looks like a scene out of a movie. Simply beautiful.
The sky carries so much memory - lovely work here!
Deborah, I don't know where I was when Joni sang this one.
I would have liked to have heard it sung. It is good, I'll go out on a limb (since every one else has already been here) and call this a romantic telling of the Big Bang. :-)
