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.
