The Vision, In the Magic Hour

The Vision, In The Magic Hour Again the hour strikes magnificently, when she arrives in her soft, golden gown; with grace in her charms that are presently, all the talk in this sleepy little town. We of the hard farming and country life, find her a princess giving precious hope, with relief from this weariness and strife, gifting brightest dreams in Cinema-Scope. Should she start dancing again in our hearts, time would then grant us happiness anew. For this angel brings magic to these parts, inspiring in each, soft love overdue. Alas! The hour strikes its departing blow! She the vision, sings sweetly as she goes. Robert J.

This is the real magic: both the writer and the reader feel the same. I believe that, metaphysically, God enjoys his creation through our eyes, ears, tongues etc. like a reader enjoys a writer's poetry. Ergo, a writer and a reader is the same person, in a way)

Your sonnets make me goose bumped, Robert. The ancient Greeks invented more aesthetically pleasing word for a such feeling: catharsis.

Thank you my good friend. I am delighted you liked this piece. Sometimes when composing and the verses just come to me, catharsis is what I feel..

Truly beautiful sonnet, and poignantly expressed. There is always those people that seem so much larger than the place where they're from. Beauty can be found in unlikely places - this poem encapsulates that.
