Poet

Poet—Your words, Like garments of Gold and silver thread, Shimmering in sunlight Or bathed by moonlit glow, When shed— Leave me breathless, Caught up in their naked truth And timeless flow— And I become aware Of nothing else.

Yes, poetry in the hands of an artist is much like music. The walls come down all round and you are alone in the somewhere. You nailed it, Connie. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver
