For Us

For Us

  Like divine visions, they dance
		and bouquets of roses are tossed over their feet…
No matter what they say, it consummates as poetry 
                and chills might run the spine…
They construct bridges		 
               and go on to design dazzling towers. 
Crowds gasp!
They tell and re-tell the legends,
               braiding the fabric of generations…
They wander wonders
        	and inspire creativity…
They see rainbow lights ringing round souls
               and look up with awe to glimpse heaven’s glory!

Sally, you never disappoint. The study of early poets is our story too. I am curious... what inspired you to look into this part of our common history? It seems like something special for sure.

Omnipotent is the Muse! The spirit capable of immortal, new, both profound and lighthearted creation. What is awesome science today is primitive tomorrow. Only the artist, in free fall, spontaneous manifestation, knows the fears and triumphs of living on and over the edge of the moment of true breathless, dangerous, lovingly perilous rapturous experience. Love your poem!
