Gravitas

GRAVITAS to absorb   asuage & whisper dominates casting   bewitching beauty smoth &round   as shadows  are revealed to flicker  & entwine where   serenity in calm release emerhes smoith &white in line &light feeling  so    elusive to grasp   distends in tears NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

One of the Roman virtues was called gravitas. Other Roman virtues were pietas, dignitas, and virtus. And all of those amazing meanings were built by you in this magnificent poem.
