Notes About The Poem

CONVERGENCE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the inkwell holds no holy water, yet the quill dips deep into a silence older than prayer. *** words rise like incense smoke— not doctrine, but the shape breath takes when leaving a body astonished by dawn.

thank you for your tender words, Rowena. Sometimes I think we all forget the power of words, spoken and written; I don't revere them as much as I could. Thank you!

WOW...a definite FAVE. I remember ink wells and pens that dripped and the Palmer Method of cursive writing exercises. I now sit here pondering the depth and beauty of this Zen-like moment. thank you....

humbly grateful for your fave, John. Until you mentioned it, I'd forgotten about the Palmer cursive writing exercises and, oh, those pens we filled with great care. I remember feeling like an artist everytime I wrote. thank you for that!
