Notes About The Poem

I Soar

Since I have half a gift											
yet not a whole, 											
I bring words to half life,										 
but alas my complete soul. 

Who I am, 												
not who I am supposed to be, 										
on these wings of an eagle 										
I take flight and become free. 
		
At dawn's break 										
cascading on the horizon, 										
is there enough light 											
to see the day? 												
It is this murky muddled mirage 									
where I facilitate my way.

Noble men and women 										
seems from another universe,										
who have authored manuscripts									
of such grand eloquence,										
I wonder and marvel											
at such sui generis verse.

I myself may never be there,										
but I can’t help to think										 
these masters passions											
which they all must bear,										
are not too dissimilar 											
to when I soar in the air.
