Poem Title:
Poem
And the poetess said… “No, it is not enough…. I have not captured it… I have not gone deep enough”… And so she took off her outer covering And spread it on the ground The breeze danced in her hair The sun kissed the nape of her neck As she looked down… Trying to see what lay within And the poetess said… “No…I have not reached the source I have not touched the essence I have not exposed the dream” And she slipped out of her dress And the sun lingered in his goodbye kiss And the wind tugged at her body And she fell to her knees As the cold of the night enveloped her And the Poetess said… “Almost…I’m almost there I can almost see I can almost hear I can almost feel the rhythm of life I am almost one… One with this dark night One with the universe One with my trembling heart Almost”… And with an inner strength born of need She slowly removed her inner garments Her body and soul exposed To the elements And the poetess lay beneath the stars…naked As naked as the day she was born... And the moon cast a blanket of light over her nakedness And the stars reached down to embrace her And the evening came alive with the voices Of her soul… And she heard... She understood... Her every sense awake… Her every emotion tingling... ALIVE And the poetess whispered “I have arrived….” And in that eternal moment Of wanton abandon... Her poem was born. Eileen Manassian Ghali
