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

I don't think so Andie. I never told David Williams it was written with him in mind.
