If I could count their number from afar,
See jewelled patterns, would I find the spar
With which the gates of knowledge to unbar?
Or would I find that Now is where we are…
Not guided by some bright, elusive star.
For Jane Dougherty’s 50th Poetry Challenge.

About Sue Vincent
Sue Vincent was a Yorkshire born writer, esoteric teacher and a Director of The Silent Eye. She was immersed in the Mysteries all her life. Sue maintained a popular blog and is co-author of The Mystical Hexagram with Dr G.M.Vasey. Sue lived in Buckinghamshire, having been stranded there due to an accident with a blindfold, a pin and a map. She had a lasting love-affair with the landscape of Albion, the hidden country of the heart. Sue passed into spirit at the end of March 2021.
Love it! Spar and unbar are terrific rhymes, strong and deliberate as well as being unexpected.
